Realtime Dynamic GI + Reflections + AO + Emissive - AHR

I decided to make a ray tracer (kind of because was not getting what I was saying. An I wanted to. :P) Now I have slowly developed it. It can now do GI, Ao, Pbr, reflections, and some other things. I made a function that did AO (once most of my phong lighting, and shadows were done.) Then I transformed the function into a type of path tracer for GI. Up until point it took under a minuet to render with no GI.
EX: p.s. picture doesn’t have GI

Most of my GI was simple and off by a bit. Now After getting the equations more refined I have a better GI system. With no speed ups, or use of a graphics card. I have it rendering in a minuet or two. It only uses around 3kbs of ram and 10% of my cpu’s power. The GI is a little fuzzy depends on how much fuzzy’s you wan’t I can make it almost none, or a lot for effect and smoothness. None of uses voxels. The final thing uses 5kbs of ram, 25% of my cpu

EX: p.s. (Most of these are sideways planes, Because of I am having shadowing errors.)

Here’s just the GI ( I think three Sample Rays) around 1 minuet. I’m getting minor GI errors because of exposure problems and also because of all the green that’s in the scene.

P.s. I’m showing you because you partially inspired me to make a ray tracer/path tracer! Hopefully it will turn into a full engine, or is implemented into unreal engine 4.

Looks interesting, great to see that I inspire, even partially, people to get into subject. Lots of cool stuff to do

Back on topic, I’m working on improving the voxelization time, mostly with CPU side optimizations, reducing state changes and similar
