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.

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

Nvidia

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.
