Battlefield 4, Crackdown 3 and Lost Planet 3 artist releases new Unreal Engine 4 Ray Tracing Tech Demo

3D artist Alden Filion, who has worked in some triple-A games like Battlefield 4, Crackdown 3 and Lost Planet 3, has released a new Unreal Engine 4 ray tracing tech demo. This tech demo was created for the Nvidia DXR Spotlight contest, and it looks really cool.

UE4 Diode is basically a short third-person action/melee game that takes advantage of real-time ray tracing. Players can explore a castle, solve a simple puzzle and fight some enemies.

Now you should not expect much from this tech demo, so I suggest tempering your expectations. Still, it’s really cool witnessing some fan-made ray tracing tech demos.

For all RTX fans out there that want more tech demos, back in June, we shared the tech demo for Attack from Outer Space. Not only that but in March 2019, we also shared a tech demo from Opus Visual.

In order to showcase this ray tracing tech demo , Filion released a video that you can find below. I’m pretty sure that those not owning a Turing GPU will find it quite interesting. I’m certain it will not sell you on buying a brand new GPU, however, it’s at least a cool demo.

Those with an NVIDIA Turing GPU can download the tech demo from here.

Have fun and kudos to our reader Metal Messiah for bringing this to our attention!

      1. After the next gen hits? Sooo… Next gen is 2020…
        And after that is 2021 ….
        Or later….
        Maybe than scam citizen will release as well….

        I am happy with my 970s…. And i5 3570k

        1. You don’t sound like someone who’s happy, in fact you sound like you’re dissatisfied with your hardware, and you cope with it by attempting to undermine new technology and those who adopt it.

          1. You are right
            I am mad cuz Nvidia lied to everyone cuz the gtx 970 is only 3.5 gb card not 4 gb….

            undermine new technology Oh boy you think raytracing is a thech what we shoud look forward?
            Oh boy o boy….
            Did you learn nothing from a nvidia gimic called physx?

            But hey raytracing needs all the PR.
            Cuz next gen consoles are still a year away so we need to keep that thing alive until we sell all tge consoles with that useless raytracing what will be a option to turn off for more fps / resolution…

            But hey… At least i have my tinfoil hat

          2. i wanted to say he’s about to bring up physx in 3…2..1 but then i looked at this comment.

          3. Yes i will bring it up cuz all this happend before and now it happening again and yall eat it all like good consumers…

    1. Sooooo.
      How the F you play raytracing techdemo on a gtx 1080ti what is garbage for raytracing……

      You kinda shoot your self in the foot with this one
      You Fcking degenerate

        1. I wish to be a teenager. Goold old times where you needed a dedicated GPU to enjoy Nvidia new graphics effect.. No not raytracing but physx…

          1. i enjoyed laughing at you but now i really feel sad for you. i would have bought and sent you something but you’re a nasty brainwashed conservative rytard.
            i kind of don’t buy that you’re an adult though.

          2. clearly i had no idea that african americans existed in america and it wasn’t a mistake, i just didn’t know, it just shows how smart you are to notice that. some haters might say you’re doing this because you always look stupid so you grab that text out of context to feel smart for once in your entire life but i tell those haters that you are known as the smart guy here on dsog. thank you bfg.

          3. idk about that but you came across as an npc with 3 iq , if my 72KG and 180CM of weight and height is enough to suffocate you , it kinda makes sense that you resorted to leftism.

          4. for some reason you 18 years old elite gamebro conservatives walk around calling leftist stupid while in reality it’s the leftists that go to universities, get the best educations and do the jobs that require brain capacity. here’s your future kid:
            youtubedotcom/user/MACBROTHERHOOD
            youtubedotcom/user/MrSmokeydogg7
            youtubedotcom/user/SgtSizzles
            these are all people who think like how you think and talk like how you talk, this is your future.
            i’ll send you a picture of my university in a couple of weeks when i move to US, i wish i could see your face and reaction to that picture.

          5. 1) im no 18 , im 22.
            2) Im not conservative at all , im extremely Libertarian.
            3) Leftists go to public universities around the world , with no prestige and study useless “careers” to end up working as a bureau ñoqui for the government.
            4) You clearly have 0 clue how i think and talk , which is why you made such a terrible and cringeworthy judgement , people who think like me are Friedrich Hayek , Thomas Sowell , Milton Friedman , Peter Schiff , you should look them up you might actually learn something.
            5) I SERIOUSLY wouldn’t brag about going to a leftist college in California , when you grow out of leftism (hopefully) you’ll cringe at your old posts.

          6. 1)this reminded me of little kids who say they’re 16 instead of 14 to prove they’re adults.
            to me anyone who’s not willing to leave the safety of their own country to visit other countries and see things from their perspective do not have any rights to push for a political view therefore that alone strips them of any credibility.
            take the big autist named ben shapiro for example, some of his foreign policy “data” that he brings up regularly have no credibility whatsoever but everyone even leftists buy into his shet.
            lauren southern is one of the dumbest public advocates when it comes to politics and that’s exactly because of her age, she went to multicultural parts of paris filming streets and i guess her point was that france looks brown or black and not white enough and then she complained why french women aren’t wearing their hair in french braids. that’s why i think conservatism is not even about conserving values but rather crying about the dumbest shet you can think of in shower.
            2) 9 out of 10 people at least on the internet who claim to be libertarian don’t even know what that means and they’re conservatives who don’t want to say they’re conservative so considering that you’re 22 i don’t think that even means anything because i doubt you’ve studied into it and as you grow, you will change your opinion based on what you read and experience later on.
            3) i have a bachelor in mechanical engineering from eth zürich, i moved to netherlands and graduated in business administration from university of amsterdam and now got accepted by harvard for mba.
            you can ask me any questions about the fields in mentioned, i have a youtube channel which is my old account and it’s got only a couple of ray tracing reshade videos that i uploaded recently but you can ask me any question in there. also if you live in US, we can meet there as well.
            i’m leaving dsog and gaming for good in a week or two.
            4)ok
            5)ok

          7. “Socialist indoctrination”
            lmao, can you get any closer to what i imagine you to be in my head?

          8. can you get any closer to what i imagine you to be in my head

            Considering the fact that you’re defending socialist indoctrination — the abolition of Man — as “education,” I’m sure I can get a lot closer.

            There seems to be a ton of room in there for maneuvering.

        1. Than how do you know its excellent???

          If a single youtube clip impres you than you must be a simple minded sheep.

          1. This is RTX graphics tech demo and the visuals impressed me in that video, simple as that.

          2. well that’s because i’m clearly not as smart as you. we need more people like you on dsog.

  1. Wow. That’s so… nothing spectacular, looks like regular raster. Even Crysis 3 looks better.

  2. honestly we don’t really need much more power for rasterization than the 2080Ti , that thing will move anything in 4K 60FPS , i think if the 3080Ti or 3080 or 3080 Super just have a 15-20% increasement in rasterization , but a x3-x4 increasement in Ray Tracing Performance , that will be the GPU that you can keep for 4-5 years.
