This is fucking incredible

I've heard raytracing used as a buzzword over the last few months, but this is the first time I've seen it. This is an absolutely amazing technology, and I'm curious how much further it could develop.

What are your thoughts, Jow Forums?

RTX a shit

I remember seeing this pic years ago and thinking was indistinguishable from an actual photograph. now it looks like a slightly mediocre test blender scene. crazy how nature do dat

I feel the sane way. Why is that? It's like if you were watching the matrix when it came out and thinking it looked realistic compared to now

once you see better cgi you learn the subtler tells

Same for me, in this pic it's the
>perfect cylindrical symmetry of glass thickness and shape
>low-res bump map on jug
Basically throw a noise on the thickness and an upscaled bump map and you could still have me fooled.

You have seen ray tracing if you watched any 3d cartoon made in the last 30 years, it simply took days to render a single frame. The latest buzzword is real time ray tracing, and it only ray traces some parts of the scene.

reflections and shadows with a very low amount of passes and a denoise filter.

... dude that image is literally more than a fucking decade old.

>waow guis! look at my goytracing? Isn't it cool how light habbens? Literally no one did this ever before! Thanks nvidia!
Fuck off.
