Personal Vulkan Rasterizer — Smoke Engine

A real-time 3D rendering engine I built in C++ and Vulkan as a personal project to explore modern graphics techniques. It loads glTF 2.0 scenes and renders them through physically based, image-based-lit pipelines with filmic tone mapping.

• Vulkan
• C++
• glTF 2.0
• PBR (metallic-roughness)
• Image-based lighting
• Forward + deferred
• Bindless textures

Rendering highlights

• Physically based rendering with a metallic-roughness workflow and normal mapping.
• Image-based lighting — HDR environment maps converted to irradiance and radiance cubemaps in a compute pass for ambient diffuse and specular.
• Forward and deferred pipelines, with a bindless texture array indexing all materials in the forward pass.

Personal Pathtracer

Repo

A personal ray tracer implementation mainly for studying path tracing techniques on my own. Implementation is based on @Peter_shirley’s Ray Tracing in One Weekend (a very fun series, I highly recommend!) and PBRT.

Runs the live WebGL build in place — requires a browser with WebGL support. Best on desktop; may be slow on mobile devices.
