Q&A: Real-Time Ray Tracing in a Cinematic Scene

Nvidia

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?

NVIDIA Research: Learning and Rendering Dynamic Global Illumination with One Tiny Neural Network in Real-Time

Nvidia

This is a challenging task, even in cinematic rendering, because it is difficult to find all the paths of light that contribute meaningfully to an image. Solving this problem through brute force requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of paths per pixel, but this is far too expensive for real-time rendering.

Theia Interactive Generates Realistic and Interactive Scenes with DLSS and RTX Global Illumination

Nvidia

Theia is known for pioneering the use of real-time rendering for non-game mixed reality and interactive development. Because the lighting is baked in, it’s difficult to test out multiple lighting scenarios. So pre-baking all of those options would have been nearly impossible. And DLSS makes real-time ray tracing possible.
