I just scanned through the dev-rendering branch on GitHub and discovered some Path and Ray Tracing stuff. Also found Screen Space Denoising in there, which maybe could be used for Ray Tracing scalability. Very interesting stuff for sure. Can't wait for 4.22.

It would be nice to have Juan Canada reporting on some news here. But I think they want to keep the tension for the upcoming official release...

i think they refer to dynamic lighting and dxr which dont work with 10series gpu !!!
and we dont have important update for lightmass in 4.22

How do you know that we wont have updates for lightmass in 4.22. I read somewhere that there are going to be a lot changes on the rendering side of the engine. I hoped that they will implement the final version of the GPU lightmass that Luoshuang has created.

we have only one topic about dxr in rendering section
no one speaking about new lightmass

guys
something gorgeous coming!

everytime open the engine this error shows

as i say dxr is better than lpv
but its not useful for archviz

archviz need highest quality

HOPE to bake lighting in ue4 without lightmaps in ue4 LIKE UNIGINE

l don't think you can "bake' lighting without lightmaps. Where does it bake to? It has to be dynamic then.

they have other technology to bake named [ voxel probs ]

I suggest you read about Unigine. It has some very impressive features - it's landscape system is incredible, native support for GIS data is a killer feature in my eyes.

This voxel-based stuff looks awesome and seem to perform good enough for current platforms. I hope Epic is not working on Raytracing exclusively, since current tech is not ready for it yet.
