# How do you use the Ray Tracing Effect?
*Ray Tracing* (implemented using the ***Path Tracing*** method) is a rendering system that accurately simulates the behavior of real-world lighting by calculating and tracing the paths of light rays as they interact with objects in a scene. This results in lifelike shadows and reflections, drastically enhancing photorealism and fidelity of visualizations.
**1. Here's how to use it:**
In Lumion, the *Ray Tracing* engine is enabled via an *Effect* in *Photo* or *Movie Mode*.
The *Effect* can only be enabled if your PC has a Ray Tracing-capable graphics card. Please consult section **1.6** for compatibility:
- **Knowledge Base:** [Which graphics card do you need for Lumion 2024 and 2025?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/12614095715868.json?hsLang=en-us)
Also, Windows must meet at least minimum requirements, preferably fully updated. See:
- **Knowledge Base:** [What kind of computer does Lumion 2024 or 2025 need?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/12614080933660.json?hsLang=en-us)
If your graphics card supports this technology, simply add the *Effect* to a *Photo* or *Clip* to enable the *Ray Tracing* engine. You can find it in the *Featured* or *Lighting* categories:
You'll instantly notice a great improvement in shading, reflections, and overall ambient lighting:
Ray Tracing OffRay Tracing On
Other benefits of using *Ray Tracing* :
- *Area Lights* and *Emissive Materials* now cast shadows.
- All light sources interact better with *Subsurface Scattering*.
- You get perfect *Reflections* without the need to manually add *Reflection Planes*.
- *Glass* casts shadows and can now be used with *Depth of Field*.
- No screen-space effect, which means *Emissive* surfaces that are not facing the camera still cast light.
- More natural colors.
Ray Tracing OffRay Tracing On
Since *Ray Tracing* takes care of emulating how the light behaves with greater precision and realism, the following *Effects* will get disabled when the *Ray Tracing Effect* is applied to the *Photo* or *Clip*.
- *Global illumination Effect*. (Lumion 2023 only, this *Effect* has been deprecated (no longer available) for Lumion 2024)
- *Hyperlight Effect*.
- *Reflection Effect*.
- *Skylight Effect*.
- *Shadows Effect*.
**2. The Effect's settings:**
In Lumion 2024, there are now 6 adjustable options in the *Ray Tracing Effect* :
### 2.1: Quality Presets
The *Ray Tracing* comes with 4 different preconfigured *Quality* settings*.* The *Samples* , *Bounces* , and *Fully Ray-traced Glass* toggle will change depending on what preset you choose:
**Photo Mode:**
**Quality**
**Setting**
*Fast*
*Balanced*
*High*
*Extreme*
*Samples*

RT Glass

On
The preconfigured settings are different in *Movie Mode* because videos use a different *Denoiser* that renders faster while requiring fewer *Samples* .
Changing any setting will set the *Quality* preset to *Custom* .
### 2.2: Samples
This slider adjusts the number of rays shot per pixel per frame to control the accuracy of light: the bigger the *Samples* value, the higher the number of rays shot and intersections calculated, which results in greater rendering accuracy and level of detail:
16 Samples256 Samples
Note that a higher *Samples* value will boost quality but will also result in longer rendering times, so increase it only when necessary, for example, on low-lit indoor scenes (which usually produce more noise).
However, for well-lit interior environments and exterior scenes, (or quick draft renders), a low number of *Samples* (around 16) usually does the job. Example below:
16 Samples256 Samples
So, if you don't see much of a difference when increasing *Samples* , you might as well reduce the setting to save valuable rendering time.
This is especially the case in *Movie Mode* , as it uses a different *Denoiser* that can produce usable videos even at 1 *Sample* .
### 2.3: Bounces
The number of *Bounces* simulates the interaction of light with reflective surfaces of objects. When a light ray hits an object, it is randomly deflected in a certain direction and the result is a converged image with smooth 'blending' between different surfaces in the rendering whose colors affect each other.
The higher the value, the better the global Illumination:
2 Bounces6 Bounces
You will usually need more *Bounces* in indoor scenes, where you want to have as much realistic light bounce as possible.
### 2.4: Denoiser
Noise commonly occurs in *Ray-traced* renders due to the complex calculations involved in simulating light behavior. The *Denoiser* is a crucial tool used to reduce the amount of graininess in *Photos* and *Movies* , and it works by analyzing the noisy image and intelligently smoothing out these imperfections while preserving important details, resulting in a cleaner and more visually pleasing final render.
By effectively removing noise, *Denoisers* help enhance the overall quality of rendered images, making them appear more polished and professional. An unneeded high number of *Samples* may not require denoising if the lighting conditions are right, however, it will result in longer rendering times.
#### 2.4.1: Movie Mode Denoiser Options In *Movie Mode* , you'll notice there's an additional option to select between two *Denoisers* :
- **OIDN:** This is the *Denoiser* used in *Photo Mode* . It employs sophisticated denoising algorithms that achieve high-quality results but may require more computational resources and time to process. When time is not a concern, consider trying OIDN as it might produce better-quality reflections.
- **NRD:** This *Denoiser* is optimized for efficiency and speed, leveraging techniques such as hardware acceleration and neural network inference to deliver fast denoising performance while keeping a good framerate, so it might not be as sharp as OIDN but is well suited for real-time rendering and rendering videos quickly.
#### 2.4.2: How the Denoiser options work
**1.** When the *Denoiser* is ON in *Photo Mode*: Preview is denoised with NRD // final output is denoised with OIDN.
**2.** When the *Denoiser* is OFF in *Photo Mode*: Preview is denoised with NRD // final output is not denoised.
**3.** When the *Denoiser* is ON in *Movie Mode* (i.e. something is selected in the Denoiser dropdown): Preview is denoised with NRD // final output is denoised with the Denoiser that is selected.
**4.** When the *Denoiser* is OFF in *Movie Mode* (i.e. nothing is selected in the Denoiser dropdown): Preview is denoised with NRD // final output is not denoised.
#### 2.4.3: Summary of Denoiser Options:
- Preview: NRD is used all the time.
- HQ Preview: OIDN is used all the time.
- Final Render - Denoiser On:
- Photo Mode default Denoiser: OIDN.
- Movie Mode: option you select (NRD or OIDN), *except for still image renders (see this table)*.

### 2.5: Firefly Filter
In *Ray-traced* renders, fireflies are small, bright, unwanted artifacts that appear as isolated, high-intensity pixels scattered throughout the image. These fireflies often result from the complex interactions of light rays with surfaces and materials in the scene and typically appear in low-light scenes, on reflective surfaces, or when there are extremely bright lights.
To tackle this, Lumion has a *Firefly Filter* feature:
- 
The *Firefly Filter* will take a pixel and look at all its neighboring pixels. If the difference between the neighbors and the current pixel is too large, then it will be replaced with the avarage color of its neighbours, resulting in a cleaner image, even in the *Ray-traced Preview* :
Firefly Filter OffFirefly Filter On
Notice how the fireflies in the ground *Material,* poles, and trees are reduced when turning on the filter.
### 2.6: Fully Ray-traced Glass and Water
#### **Glass**
Lumion 2024 introduces *Fully Ray-traced Glass*. Enabling this setting will cause *Glass* to have additional properties for the index of refraction and reflection, which results in a more authentic look and eliminates certain limitations that regular *Glass* has.
To learn all about *Ray-traced Glass* follow this article:

#### **Water**
The *Water Material* has now been converted fully for the *Ray Tracing* pipeline to provide a boost of realism.
****More information on how this toggle affects *Water* can be found below:
