Six years ago, real-time ray tracing was seen as a pipe dream. Back then, cinematic-quality rendering required computer farms to slowly bake every frame. Six years ago, real-time ray tracing was seen as a pipe dream. What is the difference between path tracing and ray tracing?

Because the lighting is baked in, it’s difficult to test out multiple lighting scenarios. Theia could have pre-baked all of the configurator customization options, but that would have resulted in thousands of configurations for custom models. So pre-baking all of those options would have been nearly impossible.

Before NVIDIA RTX introduced real-time ray tracing to games, global illumination in games was largely static. They overcome the limited realism of pre-computing “baked” lighting in dynamic worlds and simplify an otherwise tedious lighting design process. The images were rendered offline.

This laid out a vision of a new era of computer graphics for video games that featured photorealistic, ray-traced lighting, AI-powered effects and complex worlds with massive amounts of geometry and high-resolution textures. This allows users to focus less on tedious tasks and more on creativity.
