CTOnews.com, March 23 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-- Game developer CDPR announced at the 2023 Game developers Conference in San Francisco that it will launch a path-following RT Overdrive model for the game Cyberpunk 2077 (Cyberpunk 2077) on April 11.

It is also the fourth game to acquire real-time path tracking technology after Minecraft, Portal and Quake.

"this not only provides better visual effects for players, but also promises to revolutionize the entire game production process," said Pawel Kozlowski, a senior technology development engineer at Nvidia.

CTOnews.com Note, Ray tracing and path tracing are two popular methods in computer graphics to simulate the behavior of light in a virtual environment. RayTracing is a deterministic process that involves tracing the path of rays and their interactions. This technique requires a lot of processing power, and the advantage is that it can generate high-quality images with accurate reflections, refractions and shadows.

Path tracing, by contrast, is a randomly calculated process that involves sampling the ray path as it passes through the scene. The computational cost of this technique is lower than that of ray tracing, but it produces image noise and requires multiple iterations to converge to high-quality results. Path tracking is commonly used in applications that require accurate physical simulation of light, such as architectural visualization and product design.
