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.

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. Any thoughts or suggestions to share?

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

New NVIDIA Updates for Unreal Engine Developers

Nvidia

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. DLSS is powered by dedicated AI processors on RTX GPUs called Tensor Cores. RTXGI 1.1.40

Shaping the Future of Graphics with NVIDIA Technologies in Unreal Engine 5

Nvidia

DLSS uses advanced AI rendering to produce image quality comparable to native resolution, and in some cases even better quality, while only conventionally rendering a fraction of the pixels. Balancing quality and performance is done by controlling the game’s internal rendering resolution. Courtesy of JSFILMZ.

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.
