A cutting edge product on the middleware market, Geomerics' Enlighten allows cinematic effects such as real-time radiosity (light reflecting naturally off of objects and onto other objects). Enlighten allows artists to concentrate more on creating a mood than watching a rendering progress bar, and players also benefit with greater performance and a more natural look and feel in-game. EVE will be the first game to feature this product, and you can see a demo of Enlighten in action in this exclusive video from EVE FanFest 2008.
