This project is a partial implementation of the RadFoam paper, featuring a real-time ray tracing renderer built with the Vulkan SDK. It supports user navigation and novel view synthesis, with a focus on familiarizing myself with Vulkan and improving rendering performance.
- Real-Time Ray Tracing: Built using Vulkan and GLSL for efficient rendering
- User Navigation: Intuitive keyboard controls for 6-DOF scene exploration
- High Performance: Optimized for fast rendering speeds (200+ FPS)
- Platform Support: Currently limited to Windows Vulkan implementations
- xmake build system
- Vulkan SDK 1.3+
- GPU with Vulkan 1.3 support
