Originally published at: Render Millions of Direct Lights in Real-Time With RTX Direct Illumination (RTXDI) | NVIDIA Technical Blog
Until today, artists had performance constraints that artificially limited lighting complexity; real-time renderers simply could not support more than a handful of dynamic lights. For years, NVIDIA sought methods to remove this barrier and enable real-time rendering of arbitrarily complex lighting. With NVIDIA’s Marbles at Night demo shown at the launch of the Ampere GeForce…
