How does one actually access this special ray-tracing hardware? Some sort of OpenGL extension? I looked around, but couldn't find any answers. None of their press seems targeted at developers.
- kelvin0 11y agoI don't think there is any 'special ray-tracing hardware' they are simply leveraging the existing GPU with some algorithms and be able to to have faster, better looking shadows compared to the usual algos. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
- s_tec 11y agoTheir new GPU comes with something called an "RTU", which accelerates the ray intersections. This article is showing off one way to use their fancy new toy: http://blog.imgtec.com/powervr-developers/powervr-gr6500-ray-tracing http://blog.imgtec.com/powervr-developers/powervr-gr6500-ray...
- kelvin0 11y agoI stand corrected. Thanks!
