    Ray Tracing is an optimised form of Path Tracing as it outsources the need to simulate multiple bounces of light for the sake of more realistic diffused lighting with rasterised techniques, thus reducing performance penalty when being run on what are essentially General Purpose Graphics Processing Units.

      then why not use both of them at the same time ? what would it do ?

      @@Monestfiks
      Path Tracing is when you're solely dependent on real-time ray bounces, which means that you're not leveraging the rasterization capabilities of your GPU on precalculated lighting techniques as you would otherwise be in the case of Ray Tracing.
      This is the reason why Path Tracing is often referred to as *Full Ray Tracing* to begin with.
      That is to say that using these two at the same time would only mean that you're running Ray Tracing.
      Games can have both Ray Tracing and Path Tracing as an option just as it is the case with Cyberpunk 2077 and the upcoming Alan Wake sequel.

      @@TheTechSupportGuy Also I don't get it, if path-tracing traces only the most likely path then shouldn't it be worse than ray-tracing and also be LESS computationally expensive? But yeah as you said he's probably wrong lol.
      Could you provide some more clarification then please?

    • @mariovelez578
      @mariovelez578 5 месяцев назад

      Path tracing bounces light in random directions, but choosing the distribution of randomness is important. It’s always the most likely path. The reason why it’s random directions is because modern path tracing algorithms are a Monte Carlo integrator. That basically means you average a bunch of random samples to approximate the light (radiance) at every pixel

    Path tracing does not trace fewer rays, rather many many more,

    • @3DGAMEMAN
      @3DGAMEMAN  Год назад +2

      Path tracing differs from Ray tracing as it traces the most likely path of light, but It's on a per pixel basis.

    • @notarandom7
      @notarandom7 Год назад +4

      ​@@3DGAMEMAN no it doesn't. That's Nvidia's definition (which should be called full ray tracing instead). Path Tracing is just that you follow the path of a single ray until it reached the max amount of bounces, hit a light source or hit the skybox

      @@sibaprasadlenka1259Ray tracing uses exactly one ray per pixel, following its "physically correct" path. Meaning the ray changes direction each time it hits a surface following the law of reflection (or refraction on transparent surfaces). On the other hand, the path tracing creates several randomly directed rays on each hit and averages their result. That is what i know about these methods.

      ​@@sibaprasadlenka1259hey computer science student here, who is writting a path tracer.
      A path tracer is a ray tracer, Ray tracing is just the concept of tracing rays of light, it does not define an algortihm, anything that uses this rendering technique is called ray tracing. The simplest form is btw whitten raytracing.
      Monte Carlo raytracing, or more commonly known as path tracing, refers to a specific way of solving the rendering equation with monte carlo integration, so it is a well defined algorithm.
      I can here you whoah fancy words, what does this even mean. It is quite simple honestly, when bouncing of from a surface you have infinite possibilites and monte carlo integration happens if you take one possibility at random, continue with that, do that lots of time and avergae the out. That is all that path tracing is.
      Hope it helped, if not just ask

    Nope. I hate that people say Path Tracing vs Ray Tracing. Path Tracing is Ray Tracing. Ray Tracing is just an idea, while Path Tracing is an implementation of that idea for computers
