Me and my friends are writing a ray tracer in DirectX 12 for a school project and I have followed Nvidia's DXR tutorial and got the pipeline and all the steps set up such that I can run it without any problems.

In short, ray tracing calculates what light would do in real life, but instead of photons coming out of a light source and bouncing off objects before entering your eyes, it's like shooting out rays from your eyes to find out what light source the rays hit.

This recursive ray tracing of reflective colored spheres on a white surface demonstrates the effects of shallow depth of field, "area" light sources, and diffuse interreflection. In 3D computer graphics, ray tracing is a technique for modeling light transport for use in a wide variety of rendering algorithms for generating digital images. On a spectrum of computational cost and visual fidelity ...

Raytracing ist unter Gamern umstritten: Die einen schätzen die wunderschöne Grafik, andere kritisieren die hohen Anforderungen.

AMD zog Ende 2020 mit der RX-6000-Reihe nach und legte mit RX 7000 einen obendrauf. Selbst Intels Arc A770 liefert passable RT-Leistung.

For those that own an NVIDIA GPU do you use Ray Tracing regularly in the games that support it? Did you buy your card specifically for it? Or do you believe it's absolute dishwater, and that Ray Tracing in its current state is very hit and miss? Thanks for any replies!

Raytracing (dt. Strahlverfolgung[1] oder Strahlenverfolgung, [2] in englischer Schreibweise meist ray tracing) ist ein auf der Aussendung von Strahlen basierender Algorithmus zur Verdeckungsberechnung, also zur Ermittlung der Sichtbarkeit von dreidimensionalen Objekten von einem bestimmten Punkt im Raum aus. Ebenfalls mit Raytracing bezeichnet man mehrere Erweiterungen dieses grundlegenden ...

Okay, I have seen numerous posts and videos from even top level streamers who keep mentioning Ray Tracing when talking about the general visuals of the world.

To achieve high efficiency with ray tracing, build a pipeline that scales well at every stage, starting from mesh instance selection and data processing to optimized tracing and shading. For dynamic objects, prioritize updates based on visibility estimated from ray-object intersections, and use shader atomic increments to count rays hitting each object to determine update priority. Optimizing ...

Spiele können durch Raytracing noch besser aussehen und mit DLSS flüssiger laufen. Wir sagen euch, welche Spiele diese Techniken beherrschen.
