Luminous Flame
A luminous flame is a burning flame which is brightly visible. Much of its output is in the form of visible light, as well as heat or light in the non-visible wavelengths. An early study of flame luminosity was conducted by Michael Faraday and became part of his series of Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, ''The Chemical History of a Candle''. Luminosity In the simplest case, the yellow flame is luminosity, luminous due to small soot particles in the flame which are heated to incandescence. Producing a deliberately luminous flame requires either a shortage of combustion air (as in a Bunsen burner) or a local excess of fuel (as for a kerosene torch). Because of this dependency upon relatively inefficient combustion, luminosity is associated with diffusion flames and is lessened with premixed flames. The flame is yellow because of its temperature. To produce enough soot to be luminous, the flame is operated at a lower temperature than its efficient heating flame (see #Bunsen b ...

Luminous Studio
, originally called , is a multi-platform game engine developed and used internally by Square Enix and later on by Luminous Productions. The engine was developed for and targeted at eighth-generation hardware and DirectX 11-compatible platforms, such as Xbox One, the PlayStation 4, and versions of Microsoft Windows. It was conceived during the development of ''Final Fantasy XIII-2'' to be compatible with next generation consoles that their existing platform, Crystal Tools, could not handle. The engine powered the tech demos ''Agni's Philosophy'' and ''Witch Chapter 0'' initially, and has since been used in two of company's titles—''Final Fantasy XV'', an entry in their ''Final Fantasy'' franchise, and an original IP titled ''Forspoken''. In early 2018, the development team of ''Final Fantasy XV'' was established by Square Enix as a new subsidiary studio dubbed Luminous Productions. The aim was to create new AAA video games for a global audience using the Luminous Engine. Histor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
