Nvidia ShadowPlay is a hardware-accelerated screen recording utility available as part of Nvidia's GeForce Experience and Nvidia App softwares for GeForce GPUs. Launched in 2013, it can be configured to record a continuous buffer, allowing the user to save the video retroactively. [1] [2] ShadowPlay is supported for any Nvidia GTX 600 series ...
Nvidia Gameworks consists of several main components: VisualFX: For rendering effects such as smoke, fire, water, depth of field, soft shadows, HBAO+, TXAA, FaceWorks, and HairWorks. PhysX: For physics, destruction, particle and fluid simulations. OptiX: For baked lighting and general-purpose ray-tracing.
In the middle: the FOSS stack, composed out of DRM & KMS driver, libDRM and Mesa 3D.Right side: Proprietary drivers: Kernel BLOB and User-space components. nouveau (/ n uː ˈ v oʊ /) is a free and open-source graphics device driver for Nvidia video cards and the Tegra family of SoCs written by independent software engineers, with minor help from Nvidia employees.
It is possible to modify the depth map test to produce shadows with a soft edge by using a range of values (based on the proximity to the edge of the shadow) rather than simply pass or fail. The shadow mapping technique can also be modified to draw a texture onto the lit regions, simulating the effect of a projector. The picture above captioned ...
Path tracing naturally simulates many effects that have to be specifically added to other methods (conventional ray tracing or scanline rendering), such as soft shadows, depth of field, motion blur, caustics, ambient occlusion, and indirect lighting. Implementation of a renderer including these effects is correspondingly simpler.
Lightmap resolution and scaling may also be limited by the amount of disk storage space, bandwidth/download time, or texture memory available to the application. Some implementations attempt to pack multiple lightmaps together in a process known as atlasing [3] to help circumvent these limitations.
