Global illumination (GI) simulates how light bounces between surfaces, producing soft shadows, color bleeding, and ambient occlusion. For decades, real-time applications relied on static or pre-baked solutions (e.g., lightmaps, probe volumes). The emergence of hardware-accelerated ray tracing (e.g., NVIDIA RTX, DirectX Raytracing) enabled dynamic RTGI, but at high computational cost.
