OMM Sample

Opacity Micro-Map sample demostrates usage of Opacity Micro-Maps in Raytracing. Sample details:

• Opacity Micro-Map SDK is used for OMM baking. Both CPU baker and GPU baker are supported in the sample: https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/Opacity-MicroMap-SDK
• Rendering and Denoising are based on NRDSample: https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/NRDSample

Build instructions

• Install Cmake 3.15+
• Install on
  • Windows: latest WindowsSDK (22000+), VulkanSDK (1.3.231+)
• Build (variant 1) - using Git and CMake explicitly
  • Clone project and init submodules
  • Generate and build project using CMake
• Build (variant 2) - by running scripts:
  • Run 1-Deploy
  • Run 2-Build

CMake options

• USE_MINIMAL_DATA=ON - download minimal resource package (90MB) - set ShaderBalls.obj scene via cmdargs
• DISABLE_SHADER_COMPILATION=ON - disable compilation of shaders (shaders can be built on other platform)
• DXC_CUSTOM_PATH=custom/path/to/dxc - custom path to DXC (will be used if VulkanSDK is not found)
• USE_DXC_FROM_PACKMAN_ON_AARCH64=OFF - use default path for DXC

How to run

• Run 3-Run OMM sample script and answer the cmdline questions to set the runtime parameters
• The executables can be found in _Build. The executable loads resources from _Data, therefore please run the samples with working directory set to the project root folder (needed pieces of the command line can be found in 3-Run OMM sample script)

Command Line Arguments

• If Smart Command Line Arguments extension for Visual Studio is installed, all command line arguments will be loaded into corresponding window
• --api=D3D12, --api=VULKAN for graphics API selection
• --width=x, --height=y for setting window size
• --scene=*path* for scene selection
• --help to print all the available commands

Minimum Requirements

Any RTX GPU:

• RTX 4000 series
• RTX 3000 series
• RTX 2000 series

Usage

OMM:

• Set baker settings in the UI and press Bake OMMs
• For CPU baker it is recommended to use cache

Navigation:

• Right mouse button + W/S/A/D - move camera
• Mouse scroll - accelerate / decelerate
• F1 - toggle "gDebug" (can be useful for debugging and experiments)
• Tab - UI toggle
• Space - animation toggle

Notes:

• Check "Show all settings" in the UI to see rendering setting.

OMM Workflow

1. Bake OMM data with Opacity Micro-Map SDK
2. Use OMM data to build OMM with corresponding API functions
3. Build BLAS using OMM
