What is 'ray tracing' in SAP CA-VE - SAP Visual Enterprise?

ray tracing - Overview

• Component: CA-VE

• Component Name: SAP Visual Enterprise

• Description: A rendering method that generates images by tracing the light path through pixels in an image plane, and then simulates effects like reflection, refraction, and light scattering with the virtual object with which it contacts.

  Key Concepts: 
  Ray tracing is a rendering technique used in computer graphics to create realistic images. It works by tracing the path of light from the camera through the scene, simulating the way light interacts with objects in the environment. In SAP Visual Enterprise, ray tracing is used to create photorealistic 3D images of products and environments. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Ray tracing can be used to create realistic 3D images of products and environments in SAP Visual Enterprise. To use ray tracing, you must first set up a scene with the desired objects and lighting. Then, you can render the scene using ray tracing to generate a photorealistic image. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using ray tracing, it is important to pay attention to the lighting in your scene. The lighting can have a big impact on the final image, so make sure that it is set up correctly before rendering. Additionally, ray tracing can be computationally intensive, so it is important to use a powerful computer when rendering scenes with ray tracing. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Ray tracing is just one of many rendering techniques available in SAP Visual Enterprise. Other techniques include scanline rendering and global illumination. Additionally, SAP Visual Enterprise also supports various post-processing effects such as motion blur and depth of field.
