This video is a screen capture of one of several demos being presented using standard vrscenes exported from 3ds Max and Maya. But this beginning is already incredibly impressive – take a look: What we’re showing this SIGGRAPH is just the start of what we will make possible. This technology is very new: we were one of the first companies to gain access from Microsoft to their DXR extension to DirectX last spring, and now we are one of the first to have access to early versions of NVIDIA’s latest hardware. At SIGGRAPH 2018, our demonstration reveals Lavina running in a standalone application framework that we use for internal testing. So, that is where Project Lavina is heading and why it’s going to be a valuable addition to your workflow. With Lavina, your original data will soon be real-time, and your current rendering workflows will automatically be able to utilize it – just as soon as Lavina is added to the Chaos rendering solution that you already use. Unlike raster graphics, pure ray tracing delivers a consistent progression in quality, so there are no jarring differences with how your scene looks or any additional work to get your scenes into real-time experiences. These areas of focus will be possible because we are designing Lavina to be an integral part of the Chaos Group ecosystem that leverages all of our established integrations and workflows.
