With the deprecation of our lighting solution, hiddentree has taken the opportunity to customize our render pipeline. This allows us to utilize the Unity URP Lighting to it's full potential, while having an appealing light attenuation in a voxel environment. With this change we have moved to a Deferred rendering path. We can support lights with a wider range, more intensity, and add more dynamics. We will be tuning the lighting profiles across the world, however you should already see a massive difference in the quality of lighting throughout the world. More options will be coming to allow further balance of lighting features and performance in the near future.
