NVidia OptiX vs. DirectX Ray Tracing vs. Vulkan Ray tracing

less than 1 minute read

Published:

  • OptiX is since 2009, real time ray tracing API based on CUDA. Good for intensive complex scene and rendering is fast.
  • DXR and VKR are more for real time applications like games. However, DXR is on Windows and X-box. Great API for windows
  • Vulkan works on windows and linux.

Path tracing aka. Physically based rendering (PBR) is a discrete light simulation that approximately imitates the continuous real-world light interaction using the approximate physics and calculus algorithm. The goal of this repository is to gather available resources that will help beginners start working in path tracing (PBR).
