The whole lighting is precomputed in this video into path traced lightmaps and probes. The character has a simple capsule shadow to have some extra occlusion on top of static lighting (this is the only dynamic part). The character receives lighting from only diffuse probes.

A short video about the state of Wicked Engine in April 2nd, 2018. The engine is still in development by me. These days I am spending most of the time on graphics development. Upcoming feature is the Vulkan renderer. A DirectX 12 backend is now available as experimental.
The video was recorded on a laptop GTX 1050 GPU, 1080p resolution upscaled to 4k (3840, 2160). Most of the video uses Temporal Anti Aliasing to improve image quality while upscaling. This video was using the DX11 renderer.
The engine is available on GitHub as an open source project:
