Abstract:
Need for Speed Heat is the latest installment in EA’s racing game franchise running on the Frostbite engine. The gameplay is centered around daytime and nighttime high speed races with exotic sports cars in a large open world. We improved on the depiction of the cars through a new material system and combination of reflection techniques. For the indirect day and night time lighting, we implemented a sparse GPU irradiance probe grid.
