Unity's High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP)
Fusionist was built on Unity’s engine and utilizes all the different components to push the boundaries of the game's development. The team has deployed technologies, including HDRP, DOTS, and hexagonal lighting.
By using these features, Fusionist can portray a physically realistic game world through Layered Lit material. Additionally, the technology allows for Screen Space Reflection. By simulating reflections with a limited number of rays, objects within Fusionist can exhibit distinct local self-shadowing, even when they receive minimal ambient light.
