Skinned BVH Comparision, without and with, the ancient dragon creates lot of occlusion /reflections in scene. Note there is no proper light bleed yet have used a default grey for skinned characters right now.

WIP RTGI. Now doing 2 indirect lighting, there are still some issues, but working on them

Testing out HWRT, BVH. Now all lighting is combined. The left image is with Skyshadowmap, Sunshadow, SSGI + SSR. The Right image is just SunShadow, Now Skylighting/SSGI/SSR is now all wrapped in HWRT. It just works

More BVH work, Now able to seamlessly load BVH across the zones as each zone have their own BVH(BLASes) with some overlaps in-between. I am yet to move the builds to Async compute queues and is next on my list as all this is foundational work for RT.

Progress on BVH/HWRT Implementation. Support lookup buffers to fetch the Triangle data for hit point, other attributes like vertex colors will be added as well. The Normal is important part as bounce calculations will be based on that.

Dude wtf, INSANE

Super weird seeing Battlefield being so unambitious from a graphical quality perspective. Battlefield 3 and 5 were pioneering.

Borderlands 4 reviewed - we've put in the hours and the degraded performance over time is confirmed on all consoles - but that's just one part of the story. Here's our review covering all console versions of the game: youtu.be/kRWW6qwjFBA

Hi Alex, have you seen this? Can you comment on this at all lol since it’s technically a leak?

This is super impressive, it would be awesome if DF could sit down with the Snowdrop people again to discuss their work here.

Made a blog post about all the technology and updates about Darksouls3 Lighting engine.

I really loved the coverage of GTA V Enhanced on PC that you did at DF, I feel like it’s worth mentioning though that it seems like the ocean in the game is left off the BVH, which causes boats to reflect the ocean floor and glow orange which looks very odd.

Give me money

1.2 MILLION!?! #Battlefield

NVIDIA DLSS4, DLSS4 Overrides and Smooth Motion now available

It's really interesting/depressing how there's this sub-genre of YouTube video focused entirely on how 'some random thing' is 'ruining games'. TAA, ray tracing is ruining games!!11 among other things. These topics are so much more nuanced yet there's so many videos like this. What happened?

They need to bring back CRTs. There's so much potential to play around with that technology now, especially with mixing new stuff in.

For example we could have single-beam CRTs with Quantum Dot color filters. That would be insane.
