Using Maxwell's voxel global illumination technology, NVIDIA recreates Apollo 11's landing on the moon - specifically the part where Buzz Aldrin gets off the ladder.
Left: Simulation | Right: Real image
Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, there still exist some people on planet Earth who believe it's the only celestial body humanity has ever walked upon. [...] This deliciously ludicrous conspiracy theory has been debunked countless times, but now its advocates have one more refutation to deny: NVIDIA's Voxel Global Illumination tech demo. It's a GPU-powered recreation of the Apollo 11 landing site that uses dynamic lighting technology to address common claims of moon-deniers, and it's pretty neat.

I learned that Apollo suits were so reflective they actively participated in illuminating Buzz Aldrin while he was getting down the ladder.
This is a pretty cool demo, for real-time capabilities, and also proves moon hoaxers wrong (just for another time I should say :lol: ).
