Faster GPUs and real-time ray tracing are making it easier for engineers to enable visualization throughout the design process.
Once a feature available only in dedicated rendering programs, real-time rendering is now almost a standard feature in 3D design software. Autodesk Fusion 360, an integrated CAD-CAM-CAE suite, offers it as part of its design documentation tools.
Visualizing detailed 3D scenes is a standard practice in film making and game development, but less so in design and engineering. However, now that the use of simulation to develop autonomous robots and vehicles is increasing, real-time rendering of scenes (of roads and highways or factory interiors, for example) could become more common.
