Other new features include global light sampling, which reduces render times in scenes with multiple lights. Global light sampling cuts render times in scenes with many lights You can see the range of possibilities in the video above, created by in-house artist Lee Griggs, who has a set of video tutorials on how to use the distance shader on his blog. That makes it possible to create beautiful motion-graphics-style effects, in which concentric bands of colour are generated on surfaces according to their distance from surrounding objects.
