It's great that ray-tracing is able to be achieved liked this on a small scale, but I doubt they'd be able to do something like this on a large scale with AI, physics, and what have you. I think that feasible ray-tracing is still somewhat out there to be used in a realistic setting without impacting perform too much. |
Well the tech demo does seem to have physics lol, but yea a full game with real-time ray-tracing is probably a ~5 years away at this point. The fully realtime global illumination in UE4 will be a nice stepping stone/stopgap while we wait.
