ORCA and Amazon Lumberyard Bistro

This one is a pretty tasty find! Turns out there us this thing called ORCA: Open Research Content Archive, and there I found the Amazon Lumberyard Bistro scene file that was made for the 2017 Game Developer Conference to showcase new anti-aliasing and transparency features in the Lumberyard game engine. Yes, Amazon is also working on a game engine! I just took it for a spin with Corona Renderer.

I’m keeping up with updates about the upcoming Lumion version, and I noticed an interesting credit on one of their teaser images. That led me to the ORCA page on the NVIDIA DEVELOPER website, where I’ve seen this video and also found out I can download the ENTIRE SCENE!

I tried to take it for a spin with FStorm first, but I think I’ve hit my cards 3GB limit. If someone manages to do so, please let me know so I check what I did wrong. Next was Corona Renderer with some fog and it works like a charm!

Did a night lights test too…
