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?

Essential Ray Tracing SDKs for Game and Professional Development

Nvidia

To help them achieve this goal, NVIDIA has pioneered real-time ray tracing hardware with the launch of the RTX 20 series. Traditionally, most lighting is baked offline, computing just a handful of “hero” dynamic lights at runtime. From the beginning, NRD was specifically designed to work well with low ray budgets.

Game Stack Live to Feature RTXDI and Minecraft Graphics Sessions (April 20-21)

Nvidia

NVIDIA will be participating with two talks: Introduction to Real-Time Ray Tracing with Minecraft This talk is aimed at graphics engineers that have little or no experience with ray tracing. Traditionally, game developers have baked most lighting and supported a small number of “hero” lights that are computed at runtime.

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

Nvidia

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.
