Advances In Real-Time Voxel-Based GI

[@firstnamelastname-oy7es]

Voxels graphics seem to come and go over the years.

Hey, whatever gets us further and further from lightmapping....

[@chris_burrows]

lol

[@007LvB]

What's the worst thing about light maps?

[@007LvB]

Very nice. I would wish you would explain how you are doing it, instead of just showing some fancy pictures. :)

[@gabrielsandstedt]

When will VXGI be released to Unreal Engine 4.23 or above? Any information on this would be very grateful

[@n3vin192]

you can implement it right now. developer.nvidia.com/vxgi

[@johnb4467]

Has this been abandoned in favor of Nvidia pushing RTX? VXGI and gameworks tech (I think) hasn't gotten any updates in Unreal Engine lately. It would be great to be able to blend VXGI with RTX. RTX just isn't "there" yet to really be utilized, and VXGI tends to be a lot easier as far as performance hits. Any news is welcomed. :)

[@Sylarito]

Now that Nvidia have new tech to sell GPU's with, I doubt we will be seeing VXGI again.

[@johnb4467]

@@Sylarito Yes, I think you may be correct. They haven't updated their UE4 libraries in a long while, and all is quiet from them. Which is a shame, considering how diverse their tech was. Way beyond 'ray tracing' effects...and would be perfect to have in conjunction with other tech. :-/

That's why we can see this VXGI in PS4 pro [need for speed heart, mafia definitive edition ]

[@Sylarito]

@@MeariBamu PS4 Pro doesnt even have the hardware features that accelerate VXGI (Conservative Rasterization, ROVs) all of them part of DX11.3 | DX12_1 spec. Also, do you have a source that confirms those two games use voxel based technics? I know Mafia is using some sort of partial RT for its reflections but I dont think its using voxels.

[@ianfitchett2768]

I'm confused too. There's a small handful of games using voxel GI, like crysis remastered. But it doesn't seem to me to compare to what is being accomplished with DXR/RTX such as metro exodus enhanced edition. I thought voxel GI would be used more this past generation but it seems like we just kind of skipped straight from radiance to rtx.

Amazing

[@Interestingworld4567]

Amazing :D

[@robertforster8984]

Interesting.

[@sevi95100]

What did you do to the mannequin? Poor fella

[@jogeswar2565]

Looks awosome nvidia

"Thank you, thank you. That is all from me. For our next presentation on area lighting techniques, I'd like to introduce everyone to my colleague: Frankenstein's Monster." 👏👏👏👏

[@abuzzedwhaler7949]

That's incredibly rude. How would you feel if he saw your comment?

У чувака русский акцент лол. Неожиданно.
