Fast GPU Ray Tracing of Dynamic Meshes using Geometry Images

[Mallaien]

Ray Tracing is great for showing off reflections, refraction, and caustic effects, most other effects can easily be done with current hardware and shader 2.0 and higher.

nicely done

Now render this again using three AMD 4870 X2s :)

(sits dazed for a second)

[OnionMad]

you can't use 3 ones

I hope Nvidia or ATI just quits BSing and makes a experimental full blown ray tracing video card

[kensiko655]

I seriously hope so too, I feel like thier too busy counting the money of all the suckers who run out to get thier latest cards instead of actually working hard on taking a leap beyond current tech.

[pwiattitto]

i second that

ps: a year later XD

[TheSleazySaint]

@ish718 Ray tracing is used already just not for gaming. If they could they would of because it would be in demand to have a faster method of raytracing, even if it's not realtime.

I hope for not fugly monsters in video games.

[doverman2]

i hope for ray tracing in games in 2009-2010

@doverman2 fail

@doverman2 awww. maybe in 2012!
