Shadowmap vs Future Lighting Comparison

This was a demo that I never completed. I just made this video to compare the two.

[@hunteraff5872]

Good video, I though a jumpscare was gonna hapoen😂

[@kakh4443]

shadow map seems to bounce the light a bit more on surfaces while future doesnt

[@Zacus57]

Shadowmap is good for mobile players that don't have the best device to render the lighting properly like in future

[@bacon_with_brussels_sprout]

Shadow map is quite literally a shadow map,
It's just changing the brightness of textures around light

[@RealDynamicDuck]

Both doesnt calculate light bounces

[@YorktownClass]

​@Zacus57 you cant do futuristic lighting on mobile anyways.

[@carlosfourth9738]

tip: check "Shadows" on your light's properties

[@leowong4728]

Nice video

[@FaithenEb]

Always thought if we could merge these two different lighting methods into one and have more control over voxel. This would be great 🤤

[@sk.joke9272]

Definitely the Futuristic one

[@DexNathan]

Oui oui!

[@DarkHyperMystic9]

What do you guys think I should choose?

[@RomanKridd_Official]

If you are making a horror game - use Future Technology. If you are making normal game - You can use both technologies (Shadow Map or Future)

[@DarkHyperMystic9]

I just want really good graphics that look really realistic and good

@@DarkHyperMystic9 then future

[@DarkHyperMystic9]

@@xyizsilver alr thanks

[@drago_ul1]

How did you do the game

[@Rayshxft]

summary:
Future = good for horror and realistic games
ShadowMap = good for generic or casual games

[@sirNully]

shadowmap is so nostalgic reminds me of 2015 - 19 games

[@GiulianoBR3]

this is Compatibility's job

[@spvwder]

"Lumos"

[@G0va_sniper]

why are my Shadow map and Future the same?

[@Bumcat]

Most likely because your graphics settings are too low

[@Keiko91101]

Did you set your quality level to low? set it to 21 for like best graphics

[@treeditsz]

@@Keiko91101Roblox only has 10 graphic

[@Keiko91101]

@@treeditsz i meant in studio

[@bloxycommander2098]

future actually cares abt the material type lol

[@van_8]

Future is much darker

[@Zacus57]

Yeah, but more realistic. You can change the brightness in the lighting ambient color and brightness value

[@shegimmienerd]

@@Zacus57ohh

[@earthenscience]

@@Zacus57 It doesn't look realistic, it looks like sharp 90's point light shadows, IRL there are no such thing as point lights.
