If is not computationally expensive (even in a properly optimized game engine) then is not proper Ray Tracing, just rendering tricks, which have been used for decades before Ray Tracing became mainstream.

I’m not sure where this fear of ray tracing came from but it is by far the better way to render certain things. And it’s optional.

Nobody is denying how good RT can look, there is no fear behind it, is just that most of the time RT is not worth the performance hit if you don't have the proper hardware just for things to look better, you know what RT is currently amazing for? Static rendering.

Alright fair enough.
I think the current goal should be to try to move the current rendering as good as possible as well as try to make RT an option for those who want that. I think building in that foundation now would be a good idea.

I said locked, as in no further discussion or feedback from an actual dev, on a locked topic. Clearly I'm not the confused one here.

Devs have the ability to lock, unlock, and post in locked threads. It is their work area.

Anything that can count supports raytracing. You can do raytracing with a pen and paper. The only question is time it takes, i.e. performance.
You're thinking of GPUs with specific hardware to accelerate raytracing. They are not always necessary.

Without GPU support the rendering uses the CPU
Sure you can do it but I am not sure you'd like it

Oh yeeeees, rework of a trailer which have almost zero cargo spawn rate. On WoTr is completely, absolutely useless.

There is slight, very slight, hope, that this is a preparation for upcoming improvement of WoTr job generation... you know, have all trailer types ready when there will finally be cargo for them.

There’s been some progress on rigids.

@TruckingWolfUSA I really want to test that thing RIGHT NOW!!!

[JoeAlex23]

Manage your expectations, it doesn't work with a trailer because the "body" is the trailer itself, the game now supports adding a trailer with no axles/wheels and no pivot point, and now probably it won't be on the official 1.61 update because curious people found out

[TruckingWolfUSA]

I know it’s not official and won’t be in 1.61 lol
I’m just glad they’re actively working on it, hope to see it finished within the next year.
