REAC 2025 Dragon Age: The Veilguard - GI, RT, Character Creator and other systems.

We present the architectural challenges & decisions related to global illumination, ray tracing and character creator for the latest installment of the Dragon Age series - Dragon Age: The Veilguard. First, we will cover the challenges around our probe baking system and decisions made around the team size and asset constraints. Next, we will share implementation choices taken for ray tracing considering the limitations of already existing ray tracing tech, with the additional requirement of supporting more GPUs. Lastly, we will go over our character creator tool, decisions on the technical side as well as some practical technical details making this technology fulfill the game’s requirements.
