Level editor allowing players to create their own tracks is one of the main features. To solve the problem we rearranged the mesh and added some edge loops along track parts. Adjusting mesh, rig and skinning needed a couple of iterations. The simplifying mesh didn’t make it look worse, but enhanced the game’s framerate.

Q: Does the scene have to be pre-baked in any way to use ray tracing and/or path tracing? Pierre: The path tracer does not require any pre-baking, thanks to its more brute force (and slower) approach to lighting. The shape of a volume can be a box, a sphere, a custom mesh (concave), or it can be infinitely large (global).
