RayTracing is a me-

-me currently because it faces the same issues every new piece of tech does in the video game industry, mainly dialing it up to 11 just to show off that a game has is rather than using it intelligently.
Give it a few years for it to settle out and start getting used smartly.
Jose Stewart
Shut the fuck up and stop being logical.

Wyatt Wilson
How do you use it intelligently?
Jayden Brown
Not really when it halves your fps
Connor Wright
>put virtual camera behind mirror
>only render stuff in front of the mirror
>paste rendered image onto any mirrors along this plane (in OP's image, all 4 could be rendered with one camera)
woooowwww so difficult
Levi Thompson
>rendering the scene an extra time per window in the scene
Gee I wonder why this is rarely done other than for rear-view mirrors in driving games.
Caleb Morales
did you literally not read up to the point that I said that any mirror along the same plane could be rendered using ONE virtual camera?
this means that every mirror in a conventional bathroom, or on a mirrored building, would only need a single camera
in the case of mirrors that are far apart (such as a bathroom) you could use additional frustum culling to ignore the shit that is blocked by the walls
Jason Johnson
I'd rather have Tray Racing
Lucas Phillips
Use it in small quantities on the things that matter, perhaps dynamically reduce the effect when the player is far away

>DURR EVERY SURFACE IS A PERFECT MIRROR REFLECTING 200% LIGHT
God, that looks like absolute shit

Path tracing is the future of vidya graphics, ray tracing will be a stepping stone to get there.
High resolutions will also eventually kill AA but it's going to take time.
Evan Lopez
kek, needs a drying rack full of trays as an audience
Landon Hill
Why would you want raytacing on fortnite? The game runs way worse than it did like a year ago. Optimization has gone to complete shit after the engine changes.
Robert Morales
ray tracing isn't cubemapping, you don't manually define where is and isn't raytraced, it's an all-in-one replacement for casting light and shadows that gets utilized globally in scenes
David Mitchell
It is and still a meme since it just oversaturates shit and mirrors everything
Jaxon Johnson
It's still 100% retarded bro, we're talking about Fortnite toasters and multiplying the work necessary to render a frame.
Ian Carter
No that is just RT highlighting the horrific art styles we are seeing these days.
Jonathan Allen
To be fair everyone is touting their new water and window reflection shit, but raytracing has more uses than just that. Global illumination, shadows that render SSAO completely outdated, 3D audio, and other uses are abound, but everyone just goes "ooh look at our shiny reflections."
Austin Rivera
op's picture literally proves you wrong. fortnite only uses raytraced reflections, there are no raytraced lights and shadows
Nolan Gray
maybe try not being retarded next time
Juan Ross
where the fuck do you see it in that screenshot then
Xavier Sullivan
you don't manually define no, but to imply that the entire video-game world has lighting simulated is absurd
obviously you'll optimize it to only use lights that the player can actually see to save on processing, because every ray shot from a light next to the player is insanely more valuable than a ray of light in a closed room half a mile away
obviously there are things like splotlights a mile away that could very much impact the player, but that's on the dev to decide what is and isn't casting light at any given time
Levi Hill
nvidia.com
here you go, the other comparisons since OP is a faggot
Ryder Barnes
Not him but dev here. Rays are shot from the camera, then if they hit a light or the sky its traced backwards to calculate the final color.
Matthew Campbell
So......... A BVH??????
Elijah Ortiz
like look at those windows. They wouldnt be 200% perfectly reflective like some sort of million dollar mirrors used in observatory telescopes
Isaiah Cruz
this
Hudson King
in this particular case, it's a cartoony video game, so having dirty windows would just be too much grime on the style. most other RTX enabled games don't have that excuse
Isaiah Nelson
and most other RTX enabled games don't have perfectly reflective surfaces either
