Since the beginning, games have always used rasterization for rendering.
Rayve moves away from rasterization for the first time and uses compute-based
ray tracing exclusively. Entire scenes are ray traced, not just lights, shadows
and reflections.
Rayve's proprietary ray tracing method balances graphic fidelity and fast frame rates.
Deterministic ray paths are used that do not require denoising and give clean graphic detail.
Ray Tracing Simplicity
No draw calls
No frustum culling
No occlusion culling
No vertex processing
No overdraw reduction
No screen space calculations
No environment or cube mapping
No forward / deferred rendering
No level of detail meshes
No transparency ordering
No shadow mapping
No depth buffers
No mip-mapping
No filtering
