RAYTRACING

Raytracing with simple geometry is pure soul

im talking about it used in vydia to make games look more realistic and sweeter and with greater detail while being somewhat playable and affordable by optimizing them with clever tricks. yes, i want my game to look like cutscenes or a pixar movie but i dont want to play it on 20 fps when sometimes it doesnt even help the vydia scene in any significant way

>CD
jesus that is so 90s that it hurts
i miss spinning objects that floated last game i remember even doing this was minecraft

christ that looks like shit

>10fps in a game from 90s
B-BUT THE FLOOR IS WET LOOK AT THE GRAPHICS

its hilarious how in the 90th devs thought some alien space race would use cds

>INFINITE
i can clearly see an end of it

Quake 2 doesnt feel the same way with this whole RTX thing.

Why did they have to pick this trash instead of Unreal Gold?

Shut your mouth or ill blast your teeth in.

I thought this was going to be a meme about how old games had mirrors on perfectly flat surfaces in small rooms but then I realized this is actually meant to demonstrate raytracing.

How do they stop the computer from rendering an infinite numbers of reflections and using up all the CPU cycles?

Why the fuck do people pretend ReShade raytracing has anything to do with Nvidia? It's just a screenspace effect.

You need a new playstation to run some of the the latest games. You don't need a brand new graphics card to play control or legion.

So just hold on and let people develop the technology until it can run games at high frame rates instead of doomsaying and discouraging people from supporting it.

Man what the fuck this took me a minute to recognize as Quake 2. Why is the plasma rifle so SHINY on the tip? It looks so wrong but also cool as fuck.
Why is this making me nostalgic, its an entirely new look for the game?
It feels like the old days when devs first discovered reflections and cubemaps and just chromed the shit out of everything in demos but the geometry was still really uncanny basic and cartoony. Shit like 3Dmark, furmark, etc.

What a strange feeling to be feeling right now.

you mean hyperblaster? because it's a raytracing tech demo

You're right that's the name I got it mixed up with the quake 3 one. All I remember is it fired some fucking sick ass green bolts that lit up the hallway as they travelled if you ran it in opengl

Get a grip on life mate.

Faking it with baked cubemaps, lightmaps, SSR, etc. etc. means you have to do a heap of extra work to first make an engine capable of baking them, then writing shaders that try to smoothly blend all these fake things in a way that doesn't look total shit.
If you can just do the RT in realtime you don't need to do any of that work and in theory this will lead to better games because less time is being spent fiddling with fakery.
As a mild example, how many games have you played where the reflections in windows show you an older version of the map? Someone changed the geometry or the textures, but the workflow to rebake the cubemaps was too hard and too slow so they just skipped it. The guy doing the level geometry often has to sit and manually tweak the way walls contact the ground to stop shadow aliasing artefacts. It's all time consuming and annoying and it makes people reluctant to change shit once it works even if they could do it better.
