Path Tracing

Hi /porg/, Greetings from /3/.

Did you know that modern GPUs are now fast enough to do path tracing in real time?

Yep, it's essentially ray tracing in real time.  Soft shadows, ambient occlusion, indirect lighting, reflection, and refraction, all in real-time.  In fact, you can even do it in a web browser.

Have a nice day /porg/.

this is truly an engineering achievement and not programming

engineers are like God they create the material and then the programmers who play human go and manipulate the material to advance their civilization
