  • knapeczadam/graphics-programming-1-directx

    🪟 The third project of Graphics Programming 1 at Howest DAE (2023) — a DirectX 11 real-time renderer focused on GPU-based rendering. It builds upon the earlier raytracer and rasterizer projects, implementing physically-based shading, lighting, and efficient GPU resource management through the DirectX 11 API.

    Language:C++110

  • knapeczadam/graphics-programming-1-rasterizer

    🛺 CPU-based 3D rasterizer built from scratch as part of DAE’s Graphics Programming 1 course. Implements a full software rendering pipeline — vertex transforms, clipping, rasterization, depth buffering, and PBR shading — closely mirroring the DirectX 11 pipeline.

    Language:C++110

  • knapeczadam/graphics-programming-1-raytracer

    🐇 CPU-based raytracer built in C++ for Graphics Programming 1 (Howest DAE, 2023). Implements ray–object intersections, shading, reflections, and Physically Based Rendering (PBR) to simulate realistic lighting — the foundation for later rasterization and GPU rendering projects.

    Language:C110

  • knapeczadam/graphics-programming-2-vulkan

    🌋 Vulkan-based graphics projects for Graphics Programming 2 at Howest DAE (2024). Covers advanced rendering techniques including PBR, normal mapping, environment mapping, sprite rendering, post-processing, and optional compute, geometry, and tessellation shaders.
