Erebus is our attempt to build a foundation for fast and efficient, high-quality software ray tracing inside the Unity 3D game engine, and is our first step towards true real-time, non-RTX-based, ray-traced global illumination.

“If possible, please buy the package to support the developer”
Description
Advanced Dynamic Occlusion and Soft Shadow Raytracing using Distance Fields!
Next-Gen Graphics with Software Ray-Traced SDF Shadows and Ambient Occlusion!
If you purchased this asset, first off, we, Michael Rochon and Christian Kahler would like to sincerely thank you for both your vested interest in this project and most importantly, above all, your support. ( Thanks for believing in us!! ♡ )
Over the next few years we plan to continue our efforts of extending Unity 3Ds current graphics capabilities with VFX enhancing tool sets in the vein of offering a modernized roster of features able to better match and compete with other commercial engine offerings currently out on the market today.
Supporting one of our projects, whether it be Cloth Dynamics, Nano Tech, or Erebus, directly enables us to continue vesting our time and effort towards developing these systems along with our next lighting project Aruna, which is currently being actively developed as of now and will offer realtime reflections and indirect diffuse / bounce lighting utilizing similar principles to Lumen.
So again, thank you for your support. All of this would literally not be possible without your help. ?
Hopefully this guide will serve to answer the vast majority of your questions in regards to how to best utilize this package. If however something comes up that you wish to have better explained or looked at directly be a developer. Me and Chris are always available daily on our Discord server to help sort you out.
