Fantasy Lab has released a new tech demo for Danger Planet, an upcoming third person action adventure title, featuring cutting edge animation and intricate visuals. The new technology is called, RadiumSDK, and is a toolkit that allows developers to add global illumination to real-time 3D applications.

In this video, Fantasy Lab demonstrates how the engine calculates infinite bounces of light in a dynamic environment in which any surface can reflect light, shadow light, and glow.

View the tech demo below.

The game's theme follows a kind of a cartoony Lost in Space, where players assume the role of Captain Jason Storm (seen in the tech demo above). After crash landing on an alien planet inhabited by monstrous creatures, hostile robots, and derelict alien spacecrafts, Storm must use his wits and skill to find and disable the weapon that shot his craft down or risk becoming a permanent resident of DANGER PLANET.

Expect to hear more on the title from PSU.com soon.

    From what I've been told, Fantasy Lab plans to release the game episodically. So yeah, the idea would probably fit best as a PSN title. Although nothing has been confirmed. In my own opinion, I think the idea and look of the game is interesting. Reminds me much of the old PS1 classic Blasto.

    glabal illumination ! i'm a 3d nerd i know !

    thats quite advanced and can take alot of time to prerender, it can tripple rendering times by just turning it on

    Vray is also a good renderer. and super fast too. But then again using Max and Mental Ray with GI on. =/ years! but good results.

    global illumination, thats fine. Itll definitly make it feel like a PIxar movie then. Let sjsut hope the aniamtion doens't turn out as stiff and ugly as this demo showed X_X

     The tech looks very sweet. I would however like to see more effort put into the artwork though as this looks too small and too simplistic to blow me away.
