Lyra Config UI Updates
Enhancements are provided to enable the use of Projected Light Lobes, CDB, and Dynamic Shadows directly in the Lyra Config User Interface. Lyra Sensors also includes an additional UI interface for NVG City Glow.
SENSOR PRODUCTS 4.0 \NEW FEATURES
This new release of Sensor Products contains a number of new features for enhanced visual realism.
Rotor Effects
Vega Prime provides the ability to easily create, define, and render helicopter-based special effects. Users can quickly and easily define and represent blade, rotor wash, and rotor dust effects.
Dynamic Shadows Enhancements
This capability provides the ability to include dynamic shadows in the scene based on either the celestial bodies (sun/moon) or a user-defined light source. The ability to define shadows based on a user-defined light source gives increased control and flexibility to the types of applications that can benefit from the use of dynamic shadows.
