Ray Tracing?

[sno0ks]

This game doesn't have ray tracing right? The lighting is so good it looks like it does.

[space]

nope, not rt

[John Anti-Cheat]

they missed out, they could have called it straytacing. looks great without it still

dx11 has IBL, DX12 has GI and IBL.

There are only two levels in the game where ray tracing would matter.

[Cxjey2025]

they will update someday for dx12.

ray tracing are mostly a gimmick , reflections were not 'invented" by ray tracing...

[sno0ks]

You usually don't see perfect reflections like this game has without it. And it's more than reflections. I agree that it is usually not worth the trouble, but it does elevate a presentation when done right, and Stray's lighting looks a lot like it.

Yeah. I can't say where this game would have truly benefited from it, faking it with lighting tricks has done devs well and at the level that it's at in stray it would just be a performance hog to have raytraced lighting on top of it.

I don't think you understand how ray tracing works then.

I work in the games industry and know exactly how ray tracing works. Indirect Bounce Lighting is not in any shape or form ray tracing and the fact you can't tell the difference speaks volumes.

To anyone who want;s to try add these lines to the engine.ini and set properties as read only.

[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.RayTracing=True

[/script/windowstargetplatform.windowstargetsettings]
DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX12

This still doesnt mean that DX12 adds raytracing by default.
And a level doesnt decide if raytracing would matter. Thats personal taste.

To me raytracing in games will never matter, since we got so good at immitating it that we dont need raytracing. Sure it may look more realistic, but if I want realism I turn off my PC lol.


Besides, which games did you develop and what part did you take in them?
I could say Im in the game devedloping scene because I have my credits in 3 games and helped out with gamedesign and testing.

With that attitude we never would have moved past texture filled polygons

[Ghostvenger92]

i think it has artificial built in ray tracing using illumination like how gears 5 has
