Ray tracing. Its a term youre going to hear a lot now that Nvidia has announced professional and consumer graphics cards that use this technique to produce some of the most life-like simulations possible in games and other animations. So, what is ray tracing exactly, and how does it differ from current graphics rendering techniques? *shrug* --- What is this, a fair for ants? ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's neat I guess, but devs have gotten so good at faking lighting that it seems like an unnecessary resource hog. I remember working with ray tracing back when I did 3d modeling and it always ramped up my render times to a crazy degree
