Umbra Occlusion Booster™

Umbra Occlusion Booster™ is a cross platform rendering optimization library for Xbox360, PS3 and PC games. The purpose of Umbra Occlusion Booster™ is to increase the game's frame rate by determining the set of visible objects on every frame. Performance is gained on both CPU and GPU when only visible objects are rendered.

Reduce development cost

You wouldn’t write your own image-editing tool when there’s Photoshop®? Umbra Occlusion Booster™’s rendering optimization has been used in numerous AAA titles and is proven to work with shipped PC and console games. Instead of spending engineering resources on optimizing rendering performance you can concentrate efforts on things that make your game shine and still ship on schedule.

Gain performance

Are you struggling with performance? Games using Umbra Occlusion Booster™ can process more geometry with less processing power. Umbra Occlusion Booster™ determines visible objects on every frame and rendering performance is only spent on objects that contribute to the final output image.
