<p>For Unity’s part, this means that the company’s High Definition Render Pipeline will offer devs a way to implement real-time raytracing in their Unity-based projects and drastically improve the lighting effects in those games.</p>
<p>The tech is launching into as early-access, production-focused version today with a full preview launch due out later this year. The partnership, meanwhile, aims to open up the ability to render photorealistic image and lighting quality in real time to a larger pool of developers.</p>
<p>On Nvidia’s side, the partnership could give its RTX tech a potentially-need boost. The company cut its financial forecasts earlier this year after sales of the <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/335461/Nvidia_trims_quarterly_revenue_forecast_as_its_RTX_cards_undersell.php">RTX GPU line were below expectations</a>, a shortcoming that could be attributed to the fact that not many yet-released PC games have implemented the raytracing tech RTX offers up. </p>
