Yes, it is the closest you can get to plain ray-tracing.  Still, it is
hybrid method as it relies at least on various light and reflection tricks;
at least that is what the images suggest when looking closely at light,
shadow and reflection compared to knwon ray-traced images.  I actually
downloaded to manual (the whole 42 MB), but it does not say anything about
technical issues at all :-(

That sure sounds like it could have something to do with primitives, but it
is very hard to tell without actually seeing their code...
