GTA 6 Trailer Unravels the Ferris Wheel Reflection Mystery
TL;DR
The latest GTA 6 trailer confirms a hybrid reflection system (ray tracing plus screen-space reflections) in Vice City’s bay. The Ferris wheel’s water reflection is mysteriously absent, likely due to BVH-based object culling in the ray-tracing pass, a quirk that may be tweaked for the final game. Other reflections remain stable without occlusion artifacts, suggesting the system uses selective ray tracing with SSR as a fallback.
