…That's particularly evident in the case of developer Brian Schulman, who recently unveiled a path-traced version of the game called Duke-RT . As you might expect, this mod's ray…
…Like other real-time ray-traced lighting solutions, it also allows artists to see the results of their changes instantly, rather than waiting for a traditional bake step to be completed, speeding…
…Using a path tracing optimisation mod reduces ray bounces from two to one (don't worry: PT still looks good!) and in combination with equivalent rasterisation settings to the Switch 2 version…
…While PC and PS5 Pro versions support impressive ray-traced reflections, the game currently lacks advanced features like ray-traced global illumination, shadows, or path tracing, which are present in other recent…

…The footage that closes out the preview is "captured from gameplay and real-time cinematics", and shows off what looks to be ray-traced reflections in the wet tunnel floor - perhaps most…
…While mirror reflections in puddles are remarkably clear, there are compromises; animated foliage remains static in reflections, while transparent surfaces miss out on specular ray tracing. The developers have leaned into the…
…While it does not reach the heights of PC path tracing - missing some reflective detail and not factoring shadows into the ray-traced calculations - it represents a substantial visual step up from…
…inputs to work and the higher the quality of those inputs (for example, path tracing over ray tracing) improves the end result of the DLSS 5 output. And of course, if developers…
…Software-based ray tracing for global illumination is a key Glacier engine feature: While some modern titles rely on hardware-accelerated ray tracing, IO developed a custom software ray tracing pipeline for…
