Intel’s ray tracing library technology got Science and Technology Award by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

Intel Embree ray tracing library was awarded the Science and Technology Award by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences today. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the organizer of the annual Academy Awards.

It highly recognizes Intel Embree’s leading ray tracing technology in the field of geometric rendering, calling it an important innovation in the film production process. Intel said that this award is the best recognition of its years of hard work.

Intel Embree is the result of years of research, industry cooperation, and software development, and it plays a key role in enhancing the visual experience of high-fidelity content.

Intel Embree’s ray-tracing method combines the physical principles of light with 3D objects and their surface materials to generate lifelike images, including mathematically correct reflections, refractions, and shadows.

Intel Embree’s production-readiness capabilities allow creators to achieve photorealism through excellent and realistic lighting effects, like reflections and shadows on hair, fur, mirrors, or any object, vehicles, propellers, and birds, and other moving objects Complex motion blur.

And complex geometric shapes such as ray guiding discs, spheres, and normal discs to present particle effects such as sand and foam.

Movies using Intel Embree visual effects include:

• “Bumblebee”-Spark Pictures, Di Bonaventure, Tencent Pictures Platinum Sand Dunes, produced by Paramount Pictures, using V-Ray from Chaos Group
