Very neat but I think todays UT4 engine and Cry 3 engine look much better then any of those screenshots. gl

still cant find the edit button can you?

Maybe its just the art direction of those screens but i think it looks really natural. More so than the other engines. Kind of reminds me of how half life 2 looked when it first came out.

That is the actual link for those of you looking for it, guru just has code samples for some reason...

It's because the graininess of the raytracer is very similar to film grain that's--ahem--ingrained on our minds as being associated with quality, or art. See Instagram's popularity for proof of that association.

This doesn't work on AMD hardware, I'm assuming?

Worse than a slideshow on 306.23. Guess I'm going to try 306.97.

By the way, is this CPU-intensive, or is it GPU-intensive?

or with movies, i.e. photo-realism

using associations(grain) to deceive brain... interesting theory

Well aren't you an angry little scout.

Anyone have the TracerOpenCL lib that it asks for when you run on AMD hardware?


I assume it's trying to call CUDA first, and then switch to openCL

7800/7900 series should run this quite well? if anyone wants to share that TracerOpenCL.dll lib.

anyone else have ATT dsl in bay area and find this dl to be slow? i'm getting around 100 KB/s down.

ok, never mind, it doesn't work for me anyway.

error..delete.

Everyone take a deep breath todays hardware cant do Ray Tracing @ 60fps. Maybe emulate it tho. 20fps. Not even Haswell supports real time ray tracing and the graphics card can emulate tho.

Getting the same error with 306.97 on a GTX670, running Windows Server 2008 R2.
