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.

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

Solving this problem through brute force requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of paths per pixel, but this is far too expensive for real-time rendering. Before NVIDIA RTX introduced real-time ray tracing to games, global illumination in games was largely static. Direct illumination alone (left) lacks indirect reflections.
