I implemented 2.5D light culling for the tiled forward (Forward+) render path in Wicked Engine a while ago. The implementation is based on the 2012 Siggraph presentation by Takahiro Harada: e8040b55-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/takahiroharada/storage/2012SA_2.5DCulling.pdf?attachauth=ANoY7cqWFLp2GZrjpqO1q3YyOMPtB_-dqMBNsC2XpIUMps6mOFBT-vBxGJlno0ku8kfIDpVJ0WBkNEnaDih0YGYZ1b9YlnxDvFvqfcU1xZ3t5UtXuMPaizJpXeT84Xyez_ld618Bj-YP9MHHgrypQXGsF3lBRemLqQqdYCVHM0caOeSi9C0d--oRxnnUmFRwrp8h42_MKeY7iqc7w-OEUtA5dBpEs_K06A1EzCzeCMMt9ebbev4ZYQU%3D&attredirects=0

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:
