Graphics Update Discussion

[Jeeqbit]

I've also seen some claims in this thread that ray-tracing would not fit this game for multiple aesthetic reasons, but I don't believe that is true. IMO ray-tracing would do wonders both for reflections and for global-illumination, where the bounce lighting can affect colors.

Well the development panel they went over their work on lighting was at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/400283650?t=00h16m59s

Ray-tracing could require a lot of work to the game because it has been designed around the current lighting system and it means going and adjusting all their current lights.

That and would ray-tracing produce the colors that they want ie. the color scheme they have for Ahm Araeng in different weather that they worked hard on? You can see the points they made about this in slide1 and slide2.
