In our analysis of Sniper Elite 3 we saw performance differences between dual-cores, tri-cores and quad-cores. I donвЂ™t think we actually have any hard limit to the number of light sources itвЂ™s left to the artistsвЂ™ discretion!ДSOG: With Sniper Elite V2 we noticed that there wasnвЂ™t any performance difference with the number of CPU cores.

In night time settings the deferred approach means we can have hundreds of light sources dotted around as well as the gentle moonlight. In day levels the sun and sky are pretty much the only light sources, with everything lit procedurally. For Sniper Elite 3 for example, we needed a system that could cope with dynamic shadows and bounced light from a bright, desert sun. We went to a fully deferred approach about 8 or 9 years ago, and our rendering tech has been steadily improving over that time, based on the needs of the games weвЂ™re developing. Kevin Floyer-Lea: The Asura engine has been under constant development for over 14 years now вЂ“ weвЂ™re continually adding, removing and refining. Can you share some tech details about the engine and its features?

IвЂ™ve been making PC games since before these new-fangled GPUs became fashionable, and have vague memories of writing software rasterizers in machine code.ДSOG: Sniper Elite 3 will be powered by the Asura engine if we are not mistaken. IвЂ™ve been at Rebellion for 19 years now вЂ“ back in the 90s I was lead programmer on the original PC version of Aliens vs Predator.

IвЂ™m the architect of our in-house Asura engine. Kevin Floyer-Lea: Hi, IвЂ™m Kevin Floyer-Lea, Head of Programming here at Rebellion. Enjoy the interview after the jump!ДSOGaming: Before we begin, please introduce yourselves to our readers. In addition, Kevin shared his thoughts on Mantle, DX12 (as well as DX11.2), a possible new Aliens vs Predator game and the advantages/disadvantages of self-publishing a PC game. Kevin shared some new detailsВ with us about the tech features of the Asura Engine, its Multicore CPU capabilities, and the вЂObscurance FieldsвЂ™ setting (that most of you didnвЂ™t know for what it was responsible for). A couple of days ago, we had the pleasure of interviewingВ Kevin Floyer-Lea, Head of Programming at Rebellion.
