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

OCTOBER 28, 2021

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. And DLSS makes real-time ray tracing possible.

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. It gives you the performance headroom to maximize ray tracing settings and increase output resolution.

DECEMBER 20, 2023

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?

This is a challenging task, even in cinematic rendering, because it is difficult to find all the paths of light that contribute meaningfully to an image. Solving this problem through brute force requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of paths per pixel, but this is far too expensive for real-time rendering.

This means having lots of lights no longer creates a performance hit on the rendering pipeline, since all we need to do is sample a single texture and we get the amount of light coming from all light sources. I'm currently working on integrating Embree as a ray tracing library into the Godot editor. Current progress. Next steps.
