Traditionally, most lighting is baked offline, computing just a handful of “hero” dynamic lights at runtime. RTX Global Illumination (RTXGI) RTXGI provides developers with a scalable solution for multi-bounce indirect lighting without light leakage, time-intensive offline lightmap baking, or expensive per-frame costs.

Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. Multiple Bounces: Enable a feedback loop, which simulates multiple bounce lighting. SDFGI is mostly leak free, unlike VCT techniques which are the most common in use today (like SVOGI/GIProbe/etc). How do you use it?

Nanite intelligently streams and processes only the detail you can perceive, largely removing poly count and draw call constraints, and eliminating time-consuming work like baking details to normal maps and manually authoring levels of detail. This allows users to focus less on tedious tasks and more on creativity.

Let people play out the fantasy Simulation is key for a successful VR game. It’s clear that simulation, as both a genre and concept, is far more popular in VR than in Console and PC games. So many games have that question baked into their core. With that in mind, here’s what Charlie had to say.

I would never have bet on a ultra-detailed dwarf simulator using ASCII art. Here’s the rest of the quote from screenwriter William Goldman – Not one person knows for a certainty what’s going to work. Every time out it’s a guess and, if you’re lucky, an educated one. Certainly, that can be said for video games.
