oday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded the Intel\u00ae Embree ray tracing library, a component of the\u00a0Intel\u00ae oneAPI Rendering Toolkit<\/a>, a\u00a0Scientific and Technical Achievement Award<\/a>. The Academy, who hosts the annual Academy Awards\u00ae, recognizes Intel Embree\u2019s industry-leading ray tracing for geometric rendering as a contributing innovation in the moviemaking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \u201cWe are humbled and honored to receive this award. It is a wonderful acknowledgement of our efforts to deliver open software technology, cleverly utilizing ever-improving computing platforms, to unbridle creativity taking motion pictures and animation to amazing levels of visual impact in storytelling. Intel Embree is the culmination of many years of research, industry collaboration and software development \u2014 playing a pivotal role in greatly enhancing visual experiences with photo-realistic content.\u201d – Jim Jeffers, Intel senior principal engineer and senior director of Advanced Rendering and Visualization Architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 About Intel Embree: <\/strong>Ray tracing methods combine the physics of light with 3D objects and their surface materials to generate lifelike images, including mathematically correct reflections, refraction, shadows and more. Rendering developers, graphics application engineers and content creators use Intel Embree to deliver high-performance, high-fidelity visual experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intel Embree\u2019s production-ready capabilities allow creators to inject photorealism through premier, realistic lighting effects, such as reflections and shadows on hair, fur, mirrors or any object; complex motion blur for multiple moving objects like vehicles, propellers and birds; and complex geometries like ray-oriented disks, spheres and normal-oriented disks to render particle effects such as sand and foam. This is in addition to other features, such as multi-level instancing to render complex scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Why It Matters: <\/strong>Intel Embree helps developers optimize rendering applications on existing hardware to utilize advanced technologies such as Intel\u00ae SIMD and Intel\u00ae AVX-512 on Intel\u00ae Xeon\u00ae and Core\u2122 processors and emerging Intel\u00ae XPU platforms, such as Intel Xe architecture (GPUs). Customers achieve real-time performance, fast render cycles, cost-efficient production and memory savings \u2014 more time spent on quality rendering and less time on compute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Intel Embree team continues to push the envelope on rendering and ray tracing while delivering benefits to visual storytellers around the world. This award is a timely recognition for the passion and persistence of this team. We look forward to bringing more visual computing breakthroughs with our upcoming XPU platforms with Xe architecture.\u201d — Raja Koduri, Intel senior vice president, chief architect and general manager of Architecture, Graphics and Software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Customers Use Intel Embree and oneAPI Rendering Toolkit: <\/strong>Intel Embree is widely used in movie studio rendering pipelines. Its ray tracing capabilities include studio photorealistic visual effects, animated films, scientific visualization, 3D product and architectural design, and gaming visuals such as terrain and shadows. The open source library is also integrated into many popular industry rendering tools, such as Blender, Chaos Group\u2019s V-Ray, DreamWorks Animation\u2019s MoonRay, Kitware\u2019s ParaView, Corona Render, Maxon Cinema 4D and Cinebench, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
