NVIDIA’s New AI: Impossible Ray Tracing!


Summary

The video discusses the limitations of rasterization and the slow speed of ray tracing, introducing the concept of combining the two for real-time rendering with reflections and refractions. It presents the 3D GUT technique for advanced camera features, comparing it to Gaussian Splats and fisheye cameras for improved image quality and rendering efficiency. Additionally, it explores Separable Subsurface Scattering for rasterization, enabling relighting and material editing, and highlights the implications of these rendering advancements for virtual worlds and self-driving cars.
