Lighting Up The Night
The Evolution of Night Lighting in Project CARS

London, April 5, 2012: Slightly Mad Studios have released nine new previews of their WMD-powered Project CARS title, showing off the continued evolution of the title’s graphics engine.

The new previews show off new features added to the title’s dynamic time of day system that allows players to race during any time of the day, featuring realistic dynamic lighting, and sun and moon rendering.

The system now features added spotlights that light up parts of the track while casting shadows on the environment. Also visible are additional light sources from neighboring towns and trackside objects like grandstands.

The improved lightiing engine will be available to WMD members with one of the upcoming new development builds of Project CARS.
