DX12 Ray Tracing Tutorials
Real-time ray tracing represents a new milestone in gaming graphics. Game developers have relied on rasterization techniques which looked very, very good. However, rasterization good enough to achieve near-realism requires a substantial time investment on the part of developers and artists. NVIDIA RTX technology combined with Microsoft’s DXR ray tracing extension for DirectX 12 will … Continued
