Indie spotlight что это
Обновлено: 04.07.2024
DXR, или DirectX Ray Tracing, - это API, анонсированный Microsoft на GDC 2018. DXR является расширением существующего DirectX 12 API, и был публично выпущен с октябрьским обновлением Windows 10 2018 года.
Несколько месяцев назад, в первую годовщину анонса DXR, NVIDIA стала партнером Epic и Microsoft для конкурса Indie Spotlight. Участникам было предложено создать технические демонстрации с использованием Microsoft DXR и Epic Unreal Engine 4.22, которые демонстрировали эффекты трассировки лучей, такие как отражения, тени и АО.
Сегодня NVIDIA объявила трех победителей конкурса DXR Indie Spotlight, которые были выбраны из «десятков» участников. Каждый из победителей получает графическую карту NVIDIA RTX TITAN и поддержку разработчиков как от Microsoft, так и от самой NVIDIA.
Все технические демонстрации доступны для скачивания
Attack from Outer Space
Christian Hecht - это 3D-художник дизайнерской компании Tendril, базирующейся в Торонто. Его техническая демонстрация «Атака из космоса» воссоздает внешний вид классических научно-фантастических фильмов 1950-х годов с использованием отражений, теней и окружающего освещения с применением трассировки лучей в режиме реального времени.NVIDIA Indie Spotlight Program
At NVIDIA, content is king because great hardware needs great games. Great games sometimes seem to come from out of nowhere. But “nowhere” is actually a bevy of independent developers with a burning passion for games — a group we’re recognizing through the NVIDIA Indie Spotlight Program.
It takes a special attitude to break from the big studios and pursue your passion. It takes brains, guts, creativity and drive. The same kind of attitude spurred three engineers to leave major semiconductor companies and start a company they called NVIDIA. We want to encourage that independent spirit.
How the NVIDIA Indie Spotlight Fosters Independent Spirit of Gaming
Before it was a huge hit, Minecraft was created by just one guy.
You’ve never seen a TV ad for Rocket League. But it has over 19 million players.
If you have never heard of indie game classics such as Braid, Super Meat Boy, Hotline Miami or The Stanley Parable, do yourself a favor and check them out.
GameWorks Gives Indie Developers a Head Start
For years, NVIDIA has been giving game developers a leg up in technology through our GameWorks program. GameWorks gives small developers free and easy access to the state of the art in graphics, physics and special effects technology.
Developers use GameWorks algorithms and toolsets to make it easier for them to add better graphics and visual effects to their games. This helps them make games better, and can shorten development cycles.

The NVIDIA Indie Spotlight Game Developer Program
For over 20 years, NVIDIA has been at the forefront of building advanced GPU and gaming technologies for game developers. We’re as passionate about building technology as we are about helping game developers deliver their creative vision. With the introduction of our line of RTX GPUs and real-time ray tracing, we’re enabling game developers to add realistic lighting, reflections, and shadows to their PC gaming projects for the first time ever.
In addition to RTX, our GeForce Now cloud gaming subscription service offers a whole new way to play your favorite PC games on Mac, PC, and Android devices. The market for your game just got bigger.
It’s a great time to be a gamer, and an even better time to be an indie game developer. It’s never been easier for you to build the game of your dreams, and there are more games than ever for gamers to play. But this also means that it has become increasingly difficult for gamers to find your game.
That’s where the NVIDIA® Indie Spotlight™ Program comes in. We’ll leverage our GeForce® marketing channels to tell them about your great game. All upside. No catch.

Indie spotlight что это
Вчера в Steam стала доступна игра Stay in the Light от Sunside Games. Это отличный пример того, как трассировка лучей может быть полезна инди-проектам.
В Stay in the Light трассировка лучей используется в качестве ключевого компонента геймплея, а не только для улучшения визуального качества картинки. По сути, это первый случай, когда поддержка трассировки лучей является игровой необходимостью.
