This recursive ray tracing of reflective colored spheres on a white surface demonstrates the effects of shallow depth of field, "area" light sources, and diffuse interreflection. (c. 2008) In 3D computer graphics, ray tracing is a technique for modeling light transport for use in a wide variety of rendering algorithms for generating digital images.
Nvidia explains ray tracing in a video released Thursday, just in time for a new driver for GeForce GTX GPUs and new demos demonstrating the technology, according to a press release. The explainer ...
Various implementations of ray tracing hardware have been created, both experimental and commercial: (1995) Advanced Rendering Technology (ART) founded [6] in Cambridge, UK, based on a 1994 PhD thesis, to produce dedicated ray tracing silicon (initially the "AR250" chip, which accelerated ray-triangle intersection, bounding box traversal and shading), using a "RenderDrive" networked ...
Nvidia RTX (also known as Nvidia GeForce RTX under the GeForce brand) is a professional visual computing platform created by Nvidia, primarily used in workstations for designing complex large-scale models in architecture and product design, scientific visualization, energy exploration, and film and video production, as well as being used in mainstream PCs for gaming.
The graphics card maker is readying itself to take on a $250 billion industry.
This environment is the plane that is used to create the starting points. The structure allows for modifications to be made and has optimized ray traversal. The command list DispatchRays, is the start of the rays that are used to generate the reflection graphics. These are used by the GPU to begin the raytracing process.
Real-time hardware accelerated ray tracing is a new feature for RDNA 2 which is handled by a dedicated ray accelerator inside each CU. [10] Ray tracing on RDNA 2 relies on the more open DirectX Raytracing protocol rather than the Nvidia RTX protocol.
ARM’s newest flagship GPU will offer hardware-based ray tracing, a first for the company.
