Yes you do need a powerful graphics card to do path tracing, Brigade runs on NVIDIA's CUDA architecture. And no it will not financially ruin the industry, it will makes games far easier to make. No more need for pre-baked lighting, pre-calculated fog / reflections, pre-baked shadows and what not. It will help immersion immensely, shine a flashlight and see it get reflected of windows, metal surfaces, refracted by water etc. Realistic shadows and changes in light to announce movement. The last of us with path tracing would look awesome. |
