Real time Raytracing

I’ve been trialing the ray tracing with UE4 on our existing UE4 projects. It’s hard to say whether it is any use as yet. My workstation is a dual xeon, 256gb ram 2080ti beast and even a basic hotel room scene crashes a bit when cranking up the quality settings to get something usable.

That said, it performs much better on exterior scenes, but I suspect it is heavily dependent on scene optimisation and picking the right number of samples etc per scene (which is fair enough)

As for accessing it, it’s just an option you activate, then it is controlled through both the post processing volume for and on a per-light basis for GI (eg; control samples on each light source and overall sampling in PP volume)

Pretty easy to use and quite gratifying.

Thanks for the low down. Some useful information and food for thought.

Cheers
