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.

Godot 4.0 will get a new, modernized lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

Most scenes bake in seconds instead of minutes or hours. branch uses state of the art algorithms to ensure the maximum possible quality: Bakes geometry to lightmap coordinates using the actual rendering code, so any existing shader or material works. Allows baking dynamic and static lights. Features of the new Godot 4.0

Q&A: Looking Back to When 1997’s Quake II Got a Path Tracing Update

Nvidia

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.

Game Development – New Resources from GTC 21

Nvidia

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. Traditionally, game developers have baked most lighting and supported a small number of “hero” lights that are computed at runtime.
