Anybody here into non-realtime graphics rendering?

I forgot I posted a 'new' video up (a couple of months back now) showing bokeh effects. The camera aperture shape can be specified in code or encoded in a texture; the aperture shape determining the shape of the resulting bokeh phenomena.




I also generated a couple or so more images recently.

This last one uses illumination texture maps for the lighting - i.e. there are no lights in the scene as such. All light sources are taken directly from the texture maps.

I am now desperate to get my hands on the new nVidia RTX GPUs to see what they can do, especially the Tensor Cores and RT processing.

It's been quite some time since I last updated this thread. I've actually picked up the project again fairly recently and started to re-work and refactor it (mainly due to personal and professional reasons and the fact that computer graphics are just way too cool). I'm not sure the thread title actually rings true though as the path tracer is running in real-time, although performance can vary significantly depending on scene complexity and loads. Perhaps I should move over to the Realtime Graphics / Game Engines thread...

Can't imagine how good games will look in another few years lol. Cramazeballs. Yeah, the future is looking good technology-wise. Let's just hope the quality of the games are up there, too! :) Some might see this as either candid, or blanket but I honestly believe it when I say their biggest...
