Nvidia Optix Unity
The updated version allows easier more intuitive workflows and faster iteration for artists.
Nvidia optix unity. Nvidia optix ai accelerated denoiser optix 5 0 introduces an ai accelerated denoiser based on a paper published by nvidia research interactive reconstruction of monte carlo image sequences using a recurrent denoising autoencoder. Copy the cmakelists txt root one not the one in the unityoptixplugin folder file to the c programdata nvidia corporation optix sdk sdk directory and overwrite the file there. If your development machine fulfils the requirements to run optix the nvidia optix ai accelerated denoiser the progressive lightmapper uses the denoiser with a gaussian filter that has a 1 texel radius for all targets. The nvidia optix ai denoiser provides noise free lightmaps that are up to 10x faster than before.
In the past we ve demonstrated real time ray tracing on many an occasion but only in basic scenes or at low framerates. In auto mode unity automatically calculates the lightmaps and light probes. Now as the videos above show nvidia rtx and the power of volta architecture gpus make real time ray tracing a reality in highly detailed videogame scenes at playable framerates. It provides a simple recursive and flexible pipeline for accelerating ray tracing algorithms.
Nvidia optix ray tracing engine an application framework for achieving optimal ray tracing performance on the gpu. Bring the power of nvidia gpus to your ray tracing applications with programmable intersection ray generation and shading. The progressive lightmapper is a fast path tracing based lightmapper system that provides baked lightmaps and light probes with progressive updates in the editor. It requires non overlapping uvs with small area and angle errors and sufficient padding between the charts.
Cuda toolkit 5 0 or greater. Get started image courtesy tom. Nvidia optix 4 1 or greater. Additionally you get better performance lower memory usage and support for nvidia turing gpus.
The metro exodus nvidia rtx gdc 2018 demo from 4a games. Copy the unityoptixplugin folder to the c programdata nvidia corporation optix sdk sdk directory. It uses gpu accelerated artificial intelligence to dramatically reduce the time to render a high fidelity image that is visually noiseless. Nvidia iray is an intuitive physically based rendering technology that generates photorealistic imagery for interactive and batch rendering workflows.
