Ever since its reveal last month in August 2018, and likely for months following its release later in September 2018, the tech industry has been abuzz about Nvidia’s newest line of high-end graphics cards. Titled “RTX” instead of “GTX,” the “RTX” line is capable of better “ray tracing” performance than even specialized industry-level cards from only a year ago. But what is “ray tracing?” And more importantly, to answer the question everyone’s been talking about: how does the RTX line effect the viability of “3D Cel Animation?”
No one is asking about that? Oh… well, I’ll talk about what I understand ray tracing to be, anyway. Complete with hand-made diagrams of irregular quality.
How light works in the real world.
