Ray tracing will soon revolutionize the way video games look. Ray tracing simulates how rays of light hit and bounce off of objects, enabling developers to create stunning imagery that lives up to the word “photorealistic”. This video provides an overview of how the technology works. Five Things to Remember: Ray tracing defined: a primitive … Continued
This feature-rich branch is fully compatible with Unreal Engine 5, and contains all of the latest developments from NVIDIA in the world of ray tracing.
Scientists from the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center are using ray tracing on NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate simulations of subatomic particles by hundreds of times.
This chapter, written by Juha Sjöholm, Paula Jukarainen, and Tatu Aalto, presents how all ray tracing based effects were implemented in Remedy Entertainment’s Control.
We’ve been counting down to the release of Ray Tracing Gems II by providing early releases of select chapters once every week in July. This week’s chapter presents two real-time techniques for rendering caustics effects with ray tracing.
