Game Rendering Reinvented.
Rayve by Raylogic is a fully ray tracing game engine.
Since the beginning, game engines have always used rasterization pipelines for rendering.
For the first time, Rayve completely replaces rasterization with compute-based rendering.
OpenGL, DirectX and Vulkan* are not used.
Rayve uses a proprietary approach to ray tracing that balances graphic fidelity with fast frame rates.
Deterministic ray paths are used that do not require denoising and give clean graphic detail.
*A bit of Vulkan is used to access the GPU and display, but the Vulkan renderer is not used.
Ray Tracing Simplicity.
- No draw calls
- No frustum culling
- No occlusion culling
- No overdraw reduction
- No vertex/pixel processing
- No screen space manipulations
- 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
