Raytracing

[alexsok]

Have a look at http://www.openrt.de it's a OpenGL like API ( in fact its just RT instead of GL ) that uses a distributed raytracer in conjunction with a cluster. Very impressive technology and it's a full raytracer, even supporting dynamic objects. And the scene size is independent from memory, not like the gpu approach wich stores all information in the graphics memory. And in fact they're developing a chip to support their algorithms .) It will be very interesting to watch those approaches in the future.

There are also some nice screenies there!

ooh some real nice screenies indeed

btw you link is slightly wrong you got a comma on the end of it

There are a few (lenghty) DivX videos also, in case you folks haven't noticed...

The anonymous attribution for the global illumination method also adds a nice bit of mystery

Of all the threads you could've updated on the front page, why did you uncover one from more than two decades ago?!?

RTX Remix is, in fact, on the front page

What is the point? Weren't there similar-looking graphics demos a decade ago?

In game? (not cinematic sequence) in real time at 4k 100fps with the mentioned effects? please show me and pardon my ignorance if it was done 10 years ago on a GTX780, I was not aware

I don't see how a hybrid renderer with lighting probes is full raytracing.

I'd be willing to forgive the probes, but the hybrid I will not.

So the point is they can now do it faster at higher resolution? If not, please read again my question.

I read your question.

No, there were not.

Do you have any further questions? Or would you like to elucidate on your statement further, rather than vague-posting what some might consider troll-bait?

Yes that's obviously the point. In fact, it's the main point of graphics in gaming. I also answered your second question that I don't know anything realtime that looks like this 10 years a ago on a GTX780. And I asked you to show me what "a decade ago" (your words) looks similar. Now I'm, waiting for your answer

I'm super curious to understand what games you think look like that from 10 years ago.

That would be another point of disagreement.

Games like Tomb Radier, Far Cry 4, AC4. They are not as detailed, but the differences are quite small.

Lol no. If you mean those games also had trees then I agree with you.

Erm... I think you might be misremembering how those games looked.
