This is a sub-page of Superliminal/Unused Areas and Objects.

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Check if PostFX/GlobalPostProcessing & PostFX/RampPuzzle_Post(1) actually does anything.

Unused Areas#

_IllusionCube#

Located in the room where the first cube illusion is an unused room with two red walls, some stairs in the back, a concrete wall with some bumps on it that only show at certain camera angles, and two checkerboard-textured cubes (The smaller cube does spawn out of bounds for some unknown reason, had to spawn it above the bigger cube to show in the second image).

Unused Lighting#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Check if "_Studio_BackLot02_EM/Lights/Spotlight" is visible.

_SleepClinic_Optical_Variant#

Unused lights off	Unused lights on

_ExitSignRamp#

Unused lights off	Unused lights on

There are 16 unused lights in this area. Seven of them are spotlights (1-8) and nine of them are point lights (0-8).

_Hotel_IllusionCube#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Check if the disabled area light in the two windows in the first room are able to be visible.

Unused light 1 off	Unused light 1 on

Unused light 2 off	Unused light 2 on

There are two unused lights in this area. The first one is a point light inside the lamp between the windows in the first room. The other is a point and spotlight that's near the doorway in the middle of the hallway.

_P_IllusionDoor#

This needs some investigation.

Unused light 5 off (Spotlight (22 & 23))	Unused light 5 on (Spotlight (22 & 23))

Unused light 6 off (Spotlight (1))	Unused light 6 on (Spotlight (1))

There are twenty unused lights in this area. The first one is a Green Exit light that is placed on a pillar for the exit door (seen in image 1). The next eighteen are spotlights (0-3, 8-11 & 14-23); 0-3 are placed out of bounds to the left of the room (seen in image 2). 8-11 seem to be out of bounds on the right side of the area but seem to be not visible. 14 & 15 are on the left wall, in the middle of the left and middle walls (seen in image 3). 16-19 are placed out of bounds to the right of the room (seen in image 4). 20 and 21 seem to be out of bounds on the left side of the area but seem to be not visible. 22 and 23 are out of bounds on the bottom left side of the area (seen in image 5). The last unused light is a spotlight (1) that's placed in the middle of the room that shines around the back area (seen in image 6).

_P_ChessPieceAndLedge#

Unused lights off	Unused lights on

There is two unused point lights (0 & 1) that are near the entrance wall.

_RoomOutsideMoonRoom#

Unused lights off	Unused lights on

For each of the twelve used industrial lamps is an unused point light (all of them are inside each of the lamp's children). There's also another point light above the doorway on the northeast side of the room (the light is inside the first lamp on the right wall's children).

Unused Objects#

This needs some investigation.
