Unreal Engine's demo movie that understands the phenomenal picture quality of ray tracing to produce CG in real time

As a technology to perform ray tracing in real time, MicrosoftDXR"NVIDIA"RTX"Announced, but to take advantage of ray tracing technology in Unreal Engine, has announced that Epic Games a demo for drawing to achieve a level of realism that mistaken the real thing in real time.

"Hello, I am Siren, a digital human," a woman appeared. It looks like a real human being, but it is a picture produced by CG.


It was created by a joint team of international artists and technicians.


Although it is a realistic image, Siren says that it is performing motion capture of the actual motion of the human model and drawing it in real time by the Unreal Engine.

The content read by motion tracking ......


It is decomposed into various elements and is drawn as CG in real time.


Also adds information on ray tracing to capture light information.


Finally, Siren drawn in the previous movie was born.


This is because the information on the motion of one model is reflected in the appearance of another model (Lee) and is drawn in real time.


Siren's video is being drawn at 60 fps. Real-time CG rendering finally "Eerie valleyIt seems that it has exceeded.

In addition, by combining Microsoft 's DXR and NVIDIA RTX' s two ray - tracing technologies,NVIDIA DGX-1It also makes public how to draw star Wars parody CG in real time.

Rather than being rendered in advance in advance, it is a movie level that you can not believe it is impossible to believe that being drawn in real time. Of course, it is drawing with ultra-high performance DGX-1, it is impossible to produce the same image with consumer high-end GPU, but it is enough deki to make us feel the evolution of the future game.
