Towards Full-Scale Ray Tracing in Games

Abstract

We discuss the current status when it comes to real-time ray tracing of games as a full-scale alternative to renderers based on rasterization. Modern games include massive geometry, beautiful graphics, and advanced rendering effects, and still, they run with a high and steady frame rate at high resolutions. We argue that to make ray tracing a viable option, significant further development is required in terms of improved algorithms and software libraries, as well as hardware innovations that will greatly benefit the average gamer’s hardware equipment.
