Substrata Upgrades Graphics with Advanced Screen Space Effects
馃幃 Graphics That Make Unity Blush
Substrata has implemented cutting-edge screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO) and screen space global illumination (SSGI) in its latest update. These advanced graphics features enhance the visual quality of the virtual world.
The open-source platform continues to improve following its November 2023 optimization update, which achieved up to 5x better performance through efficient draw call reduction.
- SSAO adds depth and realism to 3D scenes
- SSGI provides more accurate lighting effects
- Full source code available for community review

Substrata now has state-of-the-art SSAO, SSGI etc. Probably better than in your favourite computer game! It is, of course, open source. Might write up a blog post about it.
