What is Ray Tracing? - UE4 Materials 101 - Episode 38

This video begins a new series on Ray Tracing. In this first video in the series, we explain what ray tracing is and how it's different from rasterization. We also discuss hybrid rendering - which is the mix of rasterization and ray tracing that Unreal Engine uses. Finally we discuss how several ray traced effects work including ray traced shadows, ray traced reflections, ray traced ambient occlusion, and ray traced global illumination. In the weeks that follow, we're going to show how to set up Unreal Engine for ray tracing, and then how to use each of these techniques to create realistic looking graphics. ------------------------------ Learn more!!    • What is Ray Tracing?      • Ray Tracing Essentials, Part 1: Basics of ...      • RAY TRACING and other RENDERING METHODS      • 1. What is ray tracing? | Rendering | Comp...      • Ray Tracing      • Disney's Practical Guide to Path Tracing      • Beyond Turing - Ray Tracing and the Future...   ------------------------------ Learn to write shaders in HLSL:    • HLSL Shader Creation 1 - HLSL Shader Funda...      • HLSL Shader Creation 2 - Light and Shading...      • HLSL Shader Creation 3: Surface Shading & ...   Shader Book Recommendations https://www.bencloward.com/resources_... ------------------------------ Theme Music Peace in the Circuitry - Glitch Hop http://teknoaxe.com/Link_Code_3.php?q...
