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.

Branch offers all of the benefits of mainline UE4.26, while providing some additional features: Faster ray tracing NVRTX includes a number of improvements to ray tracing performance. World position offset simulation for ray traced instanced static meshes (beta) Allows ambient motion of foliage like trees and grass.

NVIDIA will be participating with two talks: Introduction to Real-Time Ray Tracing with Minecraft This talk is aimed at graphics engineers that have little or no experience with ray tracing. Traditionally, game developers have baked most lighting and supported a small number of “hero” lights that are computed at runtime.

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.
