Ray tracing glTF scene with Vulkan

VK_RAYTRACE

This project is a glTF 2.0 sample viewer using Vulkan ray tracing. It follows the ray tracing tutorial and combines all chapters into a single example.

The lighting equation is based on:

glTF PBR reference implementation from Khronos.
Disney PBR

The rendering pipeline can be switched from:

RTX: RayGen, Closest-Hit, Miss, Any-Hit model
Compute: using Ray Query

Features

Load glTF 2.0 files ascii and binary using tiny glTF
Support for full node hierarchy
Full implementation of metallic-roughness and specular-glossiness
IBL lighting using importance light sampling
Alpha blend and cut-out
Texture transforms and samplers

Attributes

Normal : create geometric normal when not present
Texture coords : only set 0, project cube map when text coords are missing.
Tangents : generate tangents and bitangent when missing.
Color : default (1,1,1,1)

Extensions

Usage

Controls

Action	Description
