Rayve
RAY TRACING 3D GAME ENGINE
Full Ray Tracing
Rayve is a 100% ray tracing game engine. No rasterization.
No OpenGL, DirectX or Vulkan*.
Rayve's proprietary ray tracing method balances graphic fidelity and fast frame rates.
Deterministic ray paths are used that do not require denoising and give clean graphic detail.
The C++ API is game-writing friendly with a script-like feel.
*Vulkan is used for access to the GPU and display, but not for rendering.
