Re: CRYENGINE 5 Real-Time Ray Traced reflections without RTX
Hi Christoph! Glad to see you here dropping knowledge bombs. DXR is theoretically agnostic, or will be if / when ATI decides to support it. It looks like they aren't going to do it until their whole range has ray-tracing specific hardware, which is a somewhat strange decision. In the mean time, this makes it nVidia… -
Wanted: Artist for Low Poly Ray Tracing
I'm searching for a creative low poly artist to create one of the first ray tracing games that we gonna sell in some of the game stores (itch,steam,gog, eventually xbox live). Visuals: As ray tracing is still at its early days, I'd like our game to be visually a hybrid of low poly and low resolution, combined with… -
Vray vs Mental Ray
So I have been debating on whether to invest in Vray and I was wondering if anyone could give me some benefits and drawbacks of either of them. Like which is better quality or which is faster etc. My main priority is obviously quality but obviously speed is useful too. Tell me what you think. Thanks -
Re: Toolbag 4 - Ray Traced Shadow Artefacts
Just wanted to add my own experience with this issue: I'm still in the process of finding out best practices in regard to this issue and will keep this post updated when I find out new things. Btw, the official term for this problem is "Shadow Terminator Atrifact". --- Adding sub-division level in Marmoset This solution is… -

Ask A Fellow Polycounter - "Maya Mental Ray Issue"
This one I really need help with... I've finished my new portfolio scene with shader maps assigned to and all but when I booted up to do final renders today, Mental Ray suddenly could not render. The script editor said it's out of memory, I tried restarting and optimize scene size but nothing is helping it. This is what my… -
[Study] Shading Process in Mental Ray
Hey, folks Here I have a shading study in Mental Ray I did couple days ago. What do you think about these renders? Also, what do you recommend me to watch/read to achieve a better quality? Thanks for your attention, people. -
Shadow Artifacts when Rendering with Ray Tracing
When rendering in Marmoset, I get these arifacts when Ray tracing is on. It's not due to the AO or Normal maps, as the problem still happens with them off (and the maps themselves look clean). The shading of the low is also good. My guess is, that the topology of the low is to sharp (I attached an image of that), making… -
Re: Why exactly is ray/path tracing so slow??
I've never written one and it's not my area so I'm to be taken with the largest grain of salt but I'll have a stab at this: There are many reasons but the main one is because they're doing a LOT of calculations. It depends on the renderer but when you set your sample rate you're essentially subdividing pixels. E.g. 4… -
Re: Mental Ray And Light Linking
You may want to hit up CGSociety or the mental ray forum for this one. I wish I could help. I know a good amount about Mental Ray, but I've never had to use light linking before. That's too bad you can't use layers, it would be a quick fix then. Is there some sort of material tweak you can make?
