Illuminated Molecules
Screen Space Global Illumination
Our screen-space global illumination (SSGI) provides natural, balanced lighting by approximating indirect light in screen space, improving depth perception and overall interpretability. Samples are traced iteratively for interactivity, with adaptive denoising and automatic sample-count adjustment to maintain consistent performance across GPUs.
Look for the icon in the viewport to toggle illumination mode with SSGI.
PDB entry 6AU3: plain rendering appears flat with minimal depth cues (left); SSAO highlights cavities and contacts but can be overly dark (center); SSGI produces balanced, natural lighting with indirect light, enhancing depth and interpretability (right).
