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.

You’ll learn how to leverage Nucleus for collaboration, AI for asset tagging, and USD and MDL for ground truth content creation and lighting using ray tracing. Maximize these ray-tracing settings with DLSS, which will boost the frame-rate of the Attic scene while maintaining a high resolution.

UE4 plugin (Download here ) Leveraging the power of ray tracing, RTXGI provides scalable solutions to compute multi-bounce indirect lighting without bake times, light leaks, or expensive per-frame costs. It gives you the performance headroom to maximize ray tracing settings and increase output resolution.

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.

This is because ray tracing and real-time global illumination remain quite resource-intensive. With a prebaked lighting setup, you can incorporate thousands of baked lights without impacting performance, except for the bake time.

As I look back at the history of NVIDIA RTX, now with over 500 RTX games and applications powered by DLSS, ray tracing, and AI-enhanced technologies, I thought it would be a good time to sit down and talk with Alexey Panteleev , an NVIDIA engineer who worked closely on the Quake II RTX project.

The main goal of my GSoC project is to completely rewrite the light mapper in Godot and, instead of a voxel approach, use ray tracing to compute the scene lighting. Here you can see the Sponza demo model, with baked direct lighting, and the corresponding light map: Note that this first pass is not taking occlusion into account yet.

Example: Soft light from a computer screen) There are two main methods to calculate lighting quality: Ray Tracing. Voxel Cone Tracing. Baked Lighting. Spreads light from a flat surface, offering softer illumination than point lights. Rasterization. Light Probes.
