looks very real, but what did you expect from a lighting tool, for wich you have to pay, if it'd be unrealistic, nobody would buy it

looks just like the lighting in assassins creed, anyone played it?

Yes, it is not about the tool, but about the technique. And I think that this page has pretty nice videos to watch about this technique.
I have played assassins creed, it looks a litle like that but not so much.

The first thing that I was impressed was because I didn't know that radiosity could be implemented in real time with such a good results!.
In short time maybe a combination of this types of algorithms will be used in all games for global lighting!.
Perfect lighting is in the corner

Oooh, they are partners with Epic Games. I guess that means we are going to be seeing this technology in Unreal Engine 3 soon.

I like the videos, they look really cool.

It is already fully compatible with Unreal 3 engine...
