VRAD3 is the command-line tool that calculates and embeds lighting data into compiled maps. It is the 
Source 2 counterpart of 
Source 1's VRAD.
Earlier Source 2 games use VRAD2 to preview baked lighting in Hammer, using CPU.
In 
Counter-Strike 2, VRAD3 requires a GPU with ray tracing support (NVIDIA RTX, Intel Arc or AMD Radeon 6xxx+ series) to both preview and bake lighting[confirm]. VRAD2 and the old CPU lighting compiler have been removed.
Confirm:Does VRAD3 requires ray-tracing support on Half-Life: Alyx, Dota 2 and SteamVR Home aswell?VRAD3 is also available in Half-Life: Alyx and Dota 2 in later updates.
Games with VRAD2
- All Source 2 games except Counter-Strike 2, and newer versions of
Dota 2 (since 2023/2024).
Games with VRAD3
- Counter-Strike 2
- Dota 2 (later version)
Half-Life: Alyx (later version)
SteamVR Home (later version)
