A few projects I've worked on
A 3D rendering engine supporting modern graphics features such as physically based rendering, volumetric lighting and realtime global illumination. It works on older hardware (GTX 10-series minimum). It uses a deferred, GPU-driven rendering pipeline with support for large numbers of shadow-casting local lights.
A GPU virtual memory system for computing extremely high resolution shadows while maintaining a fixed memory budget and supporting data caching. This was published as a chapter in GPU Zen 3 (me + 3 other co-authors) and an older version is also available on my website.
Cascade selection depends on distance to camera. Each square is a virtual page from a certain cascade that has been mapped to a piece of physical GPU memory.
Continue reading “GPU Zen 3 – Virtual Shadow Maps [C++, OpenGL]”The goal was to enable ray traced lighting by utilizing GPU compute shaders so that specialized RT hardware would not be required. Support for directional lighting and emissive surfaces while maintaining interactive frame rates was accomplished.
