NVIDIA DLSS Plugin for UE4 DLSS is a deep learning super resolution network that boosts frame rates by rendering fewer pixels and then using AI to construct sharp, higher resolution images. DLSS pairs perfectly with computationally intensive rendering algorithms such as real-time ray tracing.

REAL TIME RAY TRACING MADE EASIER RTX Direct Illumination (RTXDI) Imagine adding millions of dynamic lights to your game environments without worrying about performance or resource constraints. RTXDI makes this possible while rendering in real time. Geometry of any shape can now emit light and cast appropriate shadows: Tiny LEDs.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. This document was written in hopes to find more developers that would like to help us write rendering code, as it explains the overall design. This may change in the future, though.

The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders. and no WASM.)
