Nvidia buys Raytracing start-up

Rayscale is the next addition to the big and happy Nvidia-Borg family . This company is a start-up, based out of the University of Utah, and obviously, they did a good job with its ray tracing Lightnow application. Lightnow provides interactive feedback with physically-based ray tracing, as well as high-quality batch rendering. Lightnow actually reminds us of 3Dnow, something that AMD used some years ago.

 

Rayscale’s Lightnow can do simple ray tracing and global illumination, the most demanding and most realistic light. This is what Hollywood uses and this will come to games, but the hardware is still too weak to do real time ray tracing at 24 FPS or more.
