RVPT
Real-time Vulkan Path Tracer
A community project of the Graphics Programming Discord server.
This project sets out to create a runtime usable Path Tracer written using the Vulkan graphics API with minimal external dependencies.
Features:
- Compute shader based Path Tracing
- Temporal Accumulation
- Shader Hot-reloading
- ImGui Integration
- Rasterization Debug View
:construction: WIP :construction:
This project is still very much work-in-progress and is missing many features. Consider contributing if you want change it :)
Build instructions
Requires:
- C++17 compiler
- CMake version 3.11 or higher
- Vulkan SDK installed. Download here: https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home
CMake is the build system. Basic compilation instructions
git clone https://github.com/GraphicsProgramming/RVPT.git
cd RVPT
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
This will create the rvpt executable in the build directory. It requires the assets folder to operate currently.
Run the rvpt
binary produced.
TODO
Things we would love to have but aren't quite there yet:
- Model/Texture/Scene loading
- Temporal Reprojection
- PBR Material support
- BVH acceleration
- Skeltal animation
