Love, games and raytracing
summary
Chaos demonstrates where ray tracing moves from offline VFX into games: V-Ray powers cinematics (Deadpool titles, Blur, Game of Thrones oceans) and 92 of the top 100 architecture firms use it; V-for-Unreal integrates V-Ray into engine workflows; a new 100% raytraced real‑time engine Project Lavina targets interactive workflows by combining RTX acceleration with a proprietary temporal denoiser and supports baking and fluid sims via Phoenix FD; earlier demos ran 1–2 fps, Lavina aims for interactive frame rates on multiple RTX cards and a public beta is coming.
