GART: Games and Applications using RayTracing

Ahh... you are correct. The download has been available since April 2021 (link is at the end of the video description): web.archive.org/web/20210415034136/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnpUykzHpv8

 

Oh, ok I'll have to check it out again then.

From the Serious Sam RT maker

 

Nice, one of the games many want RT for. Now the first Unreal, HL1, dues ex....

 

pics look darker for some reason, but in game it looks fine. Its a nice job done on this. The game is really heavy at full render resolution which you can select in the options. Its a little bellow 60 at 1440p/3080. FSR bumbs it up to 90-100

This guy is already doing Half Life, he has a trailer his channel

 

Just tried it on my 2080Ti, it runs 4K60 using DLSS performance (effectively 1080p native). It looks awesome!

 

You can run dlss ? It says not available for me. Wonder what the reason is. I thought he didnt implement dlss yet

 

Aha that i cant wait for to play.

I have a 2080Ti (OC) too, will try tonight

 

Oh damn, it says right there in the instructions, to use dlss download a dlss file and place it in the folder. I didnt read that ) So yeah, dlss works too. Awesome

 

There seems to be a DLSS library on the github for it

edit: You just noticed

 

sorcery

 

Anyone examined the presentation? How's he getting 30 bounces? That in itself sounds excessive for lighting and only warranted for numerous reflective and transparent surfaces.

 

Because of the fur

 

It says “up to 30”. That’s probably a fixed maximum. No way the average number of bounces is close to that.

The bit about tessellating the fur on the fly is interesting. They couldn’t be doing that every frame right?

 

Multi-Resolution Geometric Representation using Bounding Volume Hierarchy for Ray Tracing (PDF)

 

Nice technique to complement the slow software traverser. But the visual difference is quite noticeable in some scenes.

 

Yeah it is. Not a big fan of the ray traced scene so decimated in comparison to the primary View.

 

Seems clever. From their own provided tests, the difference is negligible. The simplified scene representations can look quite horrid when shown directly, but as I understand it, they are only used for very long rays from very diffuse reflections. Sharp mirror-like reflection rays and ones that traveled short distances will still retrieve data from the full resolution polygon representation of the scene, no?
