Ray tracing and path tracing sound similar — and technically, they are. Both methods simulate how light travels in a 3D environment, but the way they work and the results they produce are completely ...

Unless you're a physicist, you probably don't pay too much mind to the function of light in your daily life. Light is light, right? When there is light, we see, and when there isn't, we don't. But ...

Nvidia has debuted a look at path tracing technology, and the results look stunning. Just below, you can see the beginnings of a tweet thread taking Twitter user inside Nvidia's brand new path tracing ...

Forward-looking: Recent big game releases appear to confirm that ray tracing and path tracing are the future of graphics rendering. However, these techniques remain prohibitively computationally ...
