Doom RTX released; mod bringing real-time ray tracing to the classic Doom game via the Vulkan API

It’s fake, read the update in the article. Stolen mod being passed off as someone else’s work. Doesn’t include any real-time raytracing.

This is the game I want with official RTX support tho!

Doom 1 is hard to path trace, I mean the original game is ray traced anyway. But because everything is 2D it's harder to path trace. So you would have to convert the scene into a volume representation like a BSP then to a 3D triangle soup to then path trace.

Quake and others are chosen because there already BSP / CSG d end up as a triangle soup at runtime. Although I'd definitely be up for giving it a go...

This is fake. Even looking at the screenshot should show that this isn't raytracing...
