NVIDIA RTXGI Plugin At present Available via the Unreal Engine Marketplace

NVIDIA has recently released its RTXGI Unreal Engine 4 plugin on the UE Marketplace, allowing for much easier integration into game projects.

RTXGI UE4 plugin v1.1.40 is now available on the Unreal Engine Market place! This binary plugin can be dropped directly into vanilla UE4.27. No code patches or engine (re)compilation required. Works with all RT capable GPUs. Enjoy!https://t.co/Jx96lR0UiB pic.twitter.com/2VxPwtRMao

Here'due south the official overview of RTXGI.

NVIDIA RTX Global Illumination is a scalable solution that computes multi-bounce indirect lighting without broil times, light leaks, or expensive per-frame costs. RTXGI is supported on whatever DXR-enabled GPU and is an ideal starting signal to bring the benefits of ray tracing to your existing tools, knowledge, and capabilities.

Features:

No UVs. No Light Baking. No Light Leaks.

Dramatically speed upwardly iteration time with real-time ray traced lighting. No more obsessing over calorie-free probe positioning; no light or shadow leaking

Infinite Bounce Lighting in Existent Time

RTXGI's probe-based data structure temporally accumulates and filters irradiance and distance information in real time, creating a high quality infinite-bounce cache with visibility information

Content Cosmos at the Speed of Lite

Artists get instant results in-editor or in-game. Move an object or a lite and global illumination updates in real time

Available for any DXR Capable GPU

RTXGI'south scalable pattern gives you the control to decide when and where maximize performance or image quality

RTXGI is already used in several released games, such equally Metro Exodus and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, Cyberpunk 2077, Command, Minecraft RTX, Convulse II RTX, Escape from Naraka, LEGO Builder's Journey, The Persistence, Justice, Moonlight Blade, Fortnite, Xuan-Yuan Sword VII, Enlisted, 5 Nights at Freddy'due south: Security Breach, The Fabled Forest, and other upcoming titles like Dying Light 2, Bright Memory: Infinite, Loopmancer, Faith of Danschant: Hereafter, and Icarus.

Still, NVIDIA's goal is to further increment the adoption of RTXGI even among indie developers. To that end, they've published a plethora of video guides to assist with the implementation of the ray-traced global illumination technology. We've embedded them below for anyone interested.
