APOLLON is the god of light in the greek mythologie and a new lightmapping tool developed by weltenbauer. APOLLON is able to bake complex light situations for specific objects in a virtual scene into textures, so called lightmaps. These lightmaps can be used in any 3D realtime applications like games or visualization apps. With precalculated lightmaps it is possible to improve the performance and the visual quality in realtime applications. Currently APOLLON supports baking of Global Illumination, Ambient Occlusion and Direct Lighting / Shadow Baking. More features to be supported in future versions.

To make integration to an existing game engine or 3d application as easy as possible, Apollon only needs a simple configuration file to adjust the lightbaking process. Furthermore we support fbx files as scene description format. Fbx is a widely used file format for storing information of virtual 3d scenes. In addition we also support Collada, Obj and 3ds files.
