What are the visual benefits of using ray tracing in games?

It is a powerful technique used in computer graphics to create visually appealing and highly realistic images. By tracing the path of the light rays from ... Path tracing [Kaj86] has long been used in offline rendering to achieve this goal. Recent graphics processing unit (GPU) advancements and new sampling ... Bounding volume hierarchies have become a very popular way to speed up ray tracing. In this paper we present a novel traversal and approximation scheme for ... May 30, 2021 ... This is a question about how to map light intensity values, as calculated in a raytracing model, to color values percieved by humans. Apr 25, 2024 ... In the context of RTX and computer graphics, it means tracing individual rays of light to see where they go. So lets say you trace the ray of ... Mar 23, 2022 ... Ray tracing takes this further, casting rays from many points in any direction. Path tracing simulates the true physics of light, which uses ray ... Nov 29, 2023 ... Ray tracing technology has revolutionized graphics, offering immersive and realistic visual experiences that were once thought impossible. Ray tracing need not be restricted to spatial sampling. If done with proper antialiasing, the rays can sample motion, the camera lens, and the entire shading ... Abstract. This paper presents new algorithms to trace objects represented by densities within a volume grid, e.g. clouds, fog, flames, dust, particle systems. Ray tracing is also of primary importance in the field of three-dimensional computer graphics. Through the process of ray tracing, various display features, ...
