StratusGFX Realtime Graphics Engine

(3D Model: Intel Sponza)

(3D Model: San Miguel)

(3D Model: Bistro)

(3D Model: Cornell Box)

Stratus is a realtime, GPU-driven graphics engine which uses a deferred rendering pipeline. Key features include physically-based volumetric lighting, global illumination, image denoising and other modern features. It is optimized to run on lower-end hardware while still providing good visual quality.

A full list of features can be found on the GitHub repo.

Sparse Virtual Shadow Maps

(Virtual address space shifting as light rotates)

(Cascades increasing in resolution as camera moves closer)

This is a virtual memory system and data caching solution for high-quality realtime shadows over large distances. A full tech writeup can be found here: Sparse Virtual Shadow Maps

Interactive Software Raytracing

(3D Model: Cornell Box)

(3D Model: Crytek Sponza)

(Emissive Texture: https://www.pxfuel.com/en/desktop-wallpaper-ioptr)

This is an experimental feature still under development. The goal is to provide interactive software ray tracing on the GPU which does not require specialized RT hardware.

Features:

• Multi-bounce ray traced lighting
• Directional lights and emissive surfaces

To maintain interactive frame rates, the GPU ray traces a simplified version of the scene. Basic denoising with temporal accumulation is then applied.

Runs on:

• GTX 10-series cards and above
