ENLIGHTEN SDK - 02/01/08 17:14

Enlighten sets a new standard in believability for computer games. When a game uses Enlighten, all radiosity lighting is computed dynamically in real time. When a torch moves, or a light is turned off, the scene updates instantly, with correct realistic lighting automatically computed.

It is licensed by Epic, Sony etc.
I doubt that this is free.

Did you see the amount of features put into it?

Besides that it takes away 1/3 of processor performance on a PS3. So it will be future technique running only on a multi-core pc with good performance.
