Ella: a study in realism
Ella, a study in realism made in Godot Engine. Features a cinematic camera and can be watched as a real time music video, a 3D graphics benchmark, or control the camera and fly around the environment.
Uses global illumination in Godot to achieve realistic lighting, all in real time (no baked lightmaps). The character model and some assets were made with photogrammetry for the highest possible quality.
Press Escape to view the options. Space to toggle cinematic camera (be sure to close the menu before flying around). WASD or Arrow keys move around. Mouse to look.
Keep in mind, this is a high end demo and requires a modern machine to run on the full settings. If you have a laptop or integrated graphics, you’ll likely need to reduce the settings in the menu. There is a low spec mode for computers that are still good but only slightly older.
Launch with “Ella.exe –preset=lowspec” to force a graphics setting (can also use “ultra”, “quality” or “performance”). Presets can also be changed in the demo menu.
