The technique called ray-tracing conveys the effect very convincingly, but it takes a lot of computer rendering time.

I used ray-tracing renderers for years which had global illumination, long before any attempt was made to render the radiosity effects that James shows in his pictures.

But exploiting Caustic's chips will require modifications to existing ray-tracing programs.

Other companies, meanwhile, are finding ways to do ray-tracing using the microprocessors in PCs, rather than graphics chips.

The latter is collaborating with Mental Images GmbH, a software maker Nvidia acquired in 2007, to accelerate ray-tracing using graphics chips.

"It's the first honest acceleration of ray-tracing I've seen," said Jon Peddie, a market researcher in Tiburon, Calif., who specializes in graphics technology.

Though the results keep getting more realistic, developing an interactive form of ray-tracing has been a longtime quest in the computer industry.

The company says its software and chips allow graphics chips to carry out ray-tracing calculations at a 20-fold speed-up compared with existing PC hardware.
