Salle de bain by nacimus, rendered with Moonshine

• Binaries
  • offline -- a headless offline renderer
  • online -- a real-time windowed renderer
  • hydra -- a hydra render delegate
• Light Transport
  • Full path tracing
  • Direct light sampling with multiple importance sampling for all lights and materials
• Lights
  • 360° environment maps
  • Emissive meshes
• Materials
  • Standard PBR with metallic + roughness
  • Mirror
  • Glass

• zig (see version in CI)
• DirectXShaderCompiler
• For the online (real-time) renderer:
  • For Linux (Ubuntu, similar on others):
    • For Wayland: wayland-protocols libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev
    • For X11: libxcursor-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxi-dev
  • Should work on Windows without additional dependencies

• A GPU supporting Vulkan ray tracing

• Tonemapping
• HDR display
• Cameras
  • Projection
    • Orthographic
    • Arbitrary distortion
  • Bloom
  • Glare
• Materials
  • Metal
  • Transmissive with roughness
  • Mix
  • Layer
• Volumetric
• Spectral
• Lights
  • Experiment with sampling triangle via solid angle after selecting it via area
  • Experiment with unifying sampling mesh lights and environment map
  • Build sampling data structures on GPU
• Testing
  • Proper statistical tests GPU sampling routines
  • Proper statistical tests to make sure images have expected mean/variance
  • Should ensure validation layers are clean during tests
• Resource management
  • Make sure we have all necessary errdefers
  • Delayed-destruction resources should be attached to command buffer
  • GPU resource arrays should be resizable
  • Need some sort of way to do async resource creation (transfers, processing)
• Use physical (with correct scales) units
• Integrators
  • ReSTIR DI
  • ReSTIR PT

• +z is up
• phi is azimuthal angle (0-2pi) and theta is polar angle (0-pi)

• Importance sampling
• Explicit light sampling
• Multiple importance sampling
• Microfacets
• Actual materials - ton of BRDF examples, in CODE!
• Better sky
