JoyEngine

INFORMATION: software/hardware DDGI raytracing has been moved to origin/DDGI_software_and_hardware_raytracing

Toy engine written in C++ and Directx 12.

FEATURES:

DDGI

Dynamic Diffuse Global Illumination with software raytracing fully on GPU side based on LBVH and Radix Sort. Credits:

Clustered deferred shading

Custom deserialization

Simple rapidjson-based classes deserialization. Usage:

// in SomeClass.h
DECLARE_CLASS(SomeClass)
class SomeClass : public Serializable {
        DECLARE_CLASS_NAME(SomeClass)
        REFLECT_FIELD(float, someFloat);
        REFLECT_FIELD(int, someInt);
};

Separate project for asset building

All assets are loaded into the engine using custom binary format. I have JoyAssetBuilder project written in C#/WinForms for cooking all that data. In future engine and builder will be compined together in one engine project with custom editor.

Other features

Bindless textures
Tonemapping
Gamma correction
Block compressed textures
HDR skybox

Building

Clone this project with dependencies and build JoyEngineDX.sln

Dependencies

glm
ImGui
rapidjson
tinyobjloader (for Asset Builder)

WARNING: for GPU sorting part in software raytracing I used new HLSL wave intrinsics for scan stage. So it's obligation to run this project on Nvidia GPUs because of lane size equal to 32. DO NOT RUN IT ON AMD
