This is the first Beta release of the system, given the nature of the asset and the complexities of the Unity user interface, there may be configurations that may create an undesired effect, so please contact me for addressing any issue that may come up.
Please also note that the system is not a replacement for the scene view and its purpose is to give artistic precision in placing the main camera and preview the world with the final image effects and image as will be in the actual game, without entering play mode.
The videos showcase the use of the system together with Sky Master ULTIMATE 2021, the upcoming InfiniGRASS STUDIO and the LUMINA Global Illumination system. The module has been extensively tested with complex and demanding scenarios using various ARTnGAME assets to make sure it works across multiple scenarios.
IKARUS: Game View Controller features:
– Artistic freedom to change the camera and sun light for perfect placement based on the actual final game view with all image effects applied properly.

Planned roadmap (All features are TBD):
