Truly Unique

---

Current engines use rasterization pipelines with ray tracing added on. Rayve uses a 100% ray traced custom-written renderer. No rasterization, no DirectX, no OpenGL, no Vulkan*.

Rayve's custom renderer uses a very specialized proprietary approach to ray tracing specifically tuned for game performance, and doesn't require denoising.

Developing games with full ray tracing has different advantages and limitations compared to rasterization engines. Tutorials are planned to explore these differences.

Ray Tracing Simplicity
