Frequently Asked Questions

Below are concise answers to the most common questions about Obscura: its philosophy, capabilities, technical framework, and intended use. If you require more detailed or project-specific information, please contact us directly.
1What is the philosophy behind Obscura?
Obscura is built on three core principles: Light is not only technical — it is experiential. Design decisions should be understood spatially, not only numerically. Real-time simulation reduces uncertainty and restores clarity in the design process. Obscura exists to bridge measurable performance and lived atmosphere.
2What is Obscura?
Obscura is a real-time 3D lighting simulation platform designed to explore, compare and present lighting atmospheres in both outdoor and indoor environments.
3Does Obscura perform photometric calculations?
Yes. You can define calculation surfaces and obtain key metrics such as average illuminance and uniformity.
4Can I import my own luminaires?
Yes. You can import 3D models and attach IES photometries to create custom luminaire assemblies.
5Which file formats are supported?
Photometry: IES 3D models: GLB (recommended)
6Can I simulate real environmental conditions?
Yes. Obscura allows you to define geographic location, date, time, sun and moon position, as well as weather conditions (fog, rain, snow).
7Is Obscura suitable for both outdoor and indoor projects?
Yes. It is particularly powerful for urban outdoor environments, but it can also be used for interior lighting scenarios.
8Can I compare different lighting scenarios within one project?
Yes. Projects can be duplicated to test different luminaires, mounting heights, spacing, and night-time programming strategies.
9Can I export images and reports?
High-resolution image export is available. Advanced PDF reporting (including luminaire schedules and calculation summaries) will be introduced in a future version.
10What technology powers Obscura?
Obscura is built on Unreal Engine, enabling real-time photorealistic rendering and fluid navigation.
