raytraced audio

1. Raytraced Audio would be very cool
2. Should I delete the post ? ( @jaunty raven )

[jaunty raven]

I tried sending YouTube link, but it deleted my message

[thorny sable]

oh yeah of course

redo your message without the link

and post it in #📸community-media or #🤷🏻random , i'll forward it here if needed

I would like an option for realistic raytraced audio.

[jaunty raven]

I would work a little differently, because in the videos they use voxel grid for the raytracing

instead of hexagonal blocks

Don’t use raytraced audio just change sounds by detecting features near by

[jaunty raven]

why?

[smoky wadi]

Just very laggy and not necessary for the audio to collide with Evoriment when you can just make it simple and get the same results

[jaunty raven]

making it simple wont get the same results and I think people with powerful computers will really appreciate it

for example having an echo in a cave

[smoky wadi]

yes you would? the effects are in games and they dont use raytraced audio you can have a cave echo with a raytracer?

also the game is way to laggy for that rn

[finite geyser]

well no sh*t, its only in second playtest

[smoky wadi]

It will probably stay like that for like forever for lower preforming devices and just haveing 10 fps removed because you wanted to hear alittle sound that was fully raytraced isn't optimal

[finite geyser]

No it wont, one of their focuses is optimization on low end devices. Plus there are plenty of ways to optimize raytraced audio

[smoky wadi]

That maybe ture but it's always faster to apply a effect directly instead of simulating the effect with complex coding and work

[jaunty raven]

if your device isn't powerful enough you could turn off the raytraced audio

[smoky wadi]

Then why have the option in the first place

[finite geyser]

for people that want it?

[smoky wadi]

I mean modders could always do it but it won't really change anything if there's another method that recreates it mostly prefect

[finite geyser]

if modders could always do it is your argument then this entire ideas channel shouldnt be a thing

[smoky wadi]

Livestreams he has a section for modded addon ideas
