DsoTsin/vk_voxel_cone_tracing

Vulkan voxel cone tracing renderer based on SVO(sparse voxel octree) and Clipmap

vk_voxel_cone_tracing (WIP)

Voxel based global illumination renderer.

Quick Start

CMake support will be added later

Features

• Sparse voxel octree Voxel cone tracing
  • Voxelizer (prebaking for static objects)
  • Sparse voxel octree builder
  • Octree visualizer
  • Dynamic updates for movable entities (planned)
• 3D Clipmap Voxel cone tracing
  • Opacity Voxelization
  • Shadow pass (16samples PCF)
  • GBuffer pass (diffuse, specular, normal, emission)
  • Radiance injection
  • Opacity, Radiance downsampling (WIP)
  • Toroidan Addressing (WIP)
• Common
  • Microfacet specular model for direct contribution
  • Voxel cone tracing (indirect diffuse, specular) with 16 fixed cone directions
  • GLTF scene loader
  • Directional light
  • VXAO(VoXel Ambient Occlusion)
  • Area light (planned)
• Fluid simulation
  • SPH (planned) : GPU memory particles -> cone tracing (like volumetric ray marching)
