Sparse Voxel Octree (Vulkan Version)
A GPU SVO Builder using the rasterization pipeline, an efficient SVO ray marcher and a simple SVO path tracer.
If you want an OpenGL version, check OpenGL branch.

- TinyEXR - EXR file saving
- meshoptimizer - Optimize mesh
- ImGui - UI rendering
- tinyfiledialogs - Call native file dialog (require Zenity on linux)
- spdlog - Logging system

Improvements
The new Vulkan version is much faster than the old OpenGL version, given the comparison below:
GTX 1660 Ti
| SVO build time | Crytek Sponza (2^10) | San Miguel (2^11) | Living Room (2^12) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vulkan (new) | 19 ms | 203 ms | 108 ms |
| OpenGL (old) | 470 ms | -- | -- |
Quadro M1200
| SVO build time | Crytek Sponza (2^10) | San Miguel (2^11) | Living Room (2^12) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vulkan (new) | 80 ms | 356 ms | 658 ms |
| OpenGL (old) | 421 ms | 1799 ms | 3861 ms |
In addition, the new Vulkan version has some advanced features such as asynchronous model loading and asynchronous path tracing.
TODOs
v1.0
- Allow window resizing
- Test queue ownership transfer
v2.0
- Voxel editor ?
- Gradient-domain path tracing ?
- Build SVO contours ?
