"Hardware accelerated ray tracing? that'll be so fast!"

Narrator: It's not the slightest bit fast…

"How do all these video games HW ray tracing these days then?… Oh those cheating bastards…"

@schwa It’s all about the cheats with those guys! There’s a lot of really great talks about path tracing and other techniques that leverage the hardware. Doing a straight down the line ray tracer is still a bit off.

@Gte Yeah that's my take. Not something i want to invest time in. Only reason i want RT is shadows and AO.

@schwa Yeah. You can get good approximations of those with other techniques.
