Advances in Real-Time Voxel-Based GI - GDC 2018.pdf

Session Description: Voxel based lighting has been around for a few years, but very few games have actually used it so far. In this session, we’re going to discuss VXGI, the Nvidia’s voxel based lighting solution, and uncover some recent improvements that aim to make it more practical and useful even for VR games on present day graphics hardware. We will also discuss how simple, planar area lights can be efficiently implemented with a combination of voxel-based occlusion and analytic irradiance calculations. Speakers: Alexey Panteleev, Senior Developer Technology Engineer & Rahul Sathe, Senior Developer Technology Engineer
