    Community Ray Tracing Roundup

    A warm rest stop

    Welcome back, adventurers! (In case you’re just joining us, catch up here and here.)

    Thank you everyone who participated in our vote. The community vote has led us to these images created by Darkwizard9944!

    When asked, Darkwizard9944 revealed that he set a personal challenge of building daily for a month, resulting in these images. “The pub one took me a couple hours and I made some custom textures to fit the theme with merging the original ones provided by NVIDIA. I enjoyed making it and my inspiration was [A] Christmas Carol.” If you look carefully you can see the gently falling snow outside, making this locale a likely warm and cheery place to pause from your adventures.

    Thank you so much, Darkwizard9944! We look forward to seeing your future works.

    As much as we would love to hang out and watch the snow fall, we must proceed on! We have just one week left for our little experiment, so come back Tuesday, December 29 to see our final ray tracing roundup of the year. Until then, safe travels!
