This year at GDC, my peers Evan, Kelsey, and Richard will showcase the latest progress in the UE NvRTX branch, including LSS optimized hair strands path tracing, an area I’ve had the privilege to work on over the past couple of months.

I'd like to share @daqilin.bsky.social and I co-authored a chapter in the latest GPU Zen 4 book.
We cover the engineering details of implementing ReSTIR GI & PT in UE5's NvRTX branch, adopted in NVIDIA's Zorah project showcased at CES and GDC last year.
The book is now available on Amazon.
Very well deserved! As I’ve said, I love how alive the world feels. In addition to the “obvious” 😉 next steps, I’d love to see further enhancements to characters - specifically in facial animation and eyes.
Looking forward to seeing how the engine evolves!
Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

It’s really cool to see my talk freely available for everyone. I’m proud of the work our team accomplished, and it means a lot that it’s now accessible to a wider audience.
Huge thanks to the GDC team for putting it out there!

AC Shadows is a remarkable real-time graphics showcase. The world feels natural, alive, and I regularly find myself stopping to just watch the weather system do its thing. Screenshots don't do it justice, so go play it 😄.

@nicolas-lopez.bsky.social FYI: the Zorah sample content is now posted (see the "Download Zorah Sample" button) developer.nvidia.com/rtx-kit/. It's a chonky download at 108GB. Enjoy 😄
11.04.2025 19:01 — 👍 10 🔁 1 💬 2 📌 0Also, congrats and great job with AC Shadows! I’m happy to see you all using RTXGI/DDGI-ish irradiance probes as an infinite bounce cache after the second path vertex. This is exactly what I’ve been wanting to see in (more) games since the first release of RTXGI! 🥳

27.03.2025 17:59 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0Yup! The talk was recorded and will be available for free on the NVIDIA On Demand site. Usually takes a few weeks for it to show up. I’ll post a link when it arrives.
