Godot RTX | NVIDIA Fork | Path-Tracing

[JohnLogostini]

I have been playing with this for the last several days, and it’s massively impressive. I have also been talking with NVIDIA about this, and they intend to develop it to a production-ready state and open a PR to merge it back into Godot. NVIDIA has built the path-tracer itself as a fully GPU-agnostic system, meaning it is not limited to NVIDIA GPUs. At the moment, the denoiser is DLSS Ray Reconstruction, which is limited to NVIDIA, but they are actively working on a second denoiser specifically to support AMD and Intel.

I am working on some demonstration scenes now so people have some stuff to play with, so hopefully I have more to share soon. Here are two demos from the last several days.

Welcome to the Forum!

There’s this thread already on the topic of path tracing, which you might be interested in. I saw your post on Reddit and linked your video there

Path tracing fork's future?

A new demo just dropped, based on the Team Fortress 2 map. [image] Looks impressive, especially around the middle of the video, where they move the light source around the building. Definitely much better than what GamesFromScratch presented… There’s a little more information and discussion with OP on Reddit, if anyone’s interested. https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/s/YDE7kCGIzB

Looking forward to whatever you plan on releasing next.

Hi, thanks! Yeah, sorry, I’m new to the forms and didn’t realize there was already a post. I’ll cross-post for now and keep things to existing posts.

Also, Godot has 2 sets of forms? How did that happen?

There’s a topic about that too, by yours truly:

I just discovered that there are 2 Godot Forums

A coulpe years ago the owner of the old forums got angry at the people running the godot foundation because of some of their dealings and closed the forums that he ran and paid for out of his own pocket. This official forum was made after that, but then the old one got a new owner and was re-opened, so now we have two.

Well, that explanation makes sense, but it was confusing to me.

[Demetrius_Dixon]

It was confusing to me as well. At the time anyway,

Just buy a 3000$ graphic card to play a 15 yo game. I am so exited! Thank you Nvidia!

I am wanting to attach a meme but I am not sure will it suit the forum or not. you can see it by searching

I’d love to see the projects on GitHub so we can download and play with them if that’s possible.

I was using the TF2 map as an example, but I have more high-end scenes on the way.

I don’t know if I’m allowed to post the TF2 maps. I’m but I will post some of the other scenes I’m working on soon.
