RealEngine

My toy engine, mainly for rendering experiment and prototyping. It requires a GPU which supports DX12 Ultimate with latest driver. It is not supposed to be used in production, and prefers clean design and code over being heavily optimized.

some highlights

• utilize latest DX12 features, such as raytracing, mesh shaders, HLSL 2021, etc.
• render graph based architecture, with automatic barriers and transient resources management
• fully bindless resources with SM6.6
• two-phase occlusion culling (like Ubi's GPU driven pipeline). no matter how many different meshes and textures, always two drawcalls(indirect DispatchMesh) per PSO.
• hybrid rendering with raytracing
• Print, DrawLine functions in shaders which can be very useful for debugging

planned features

• render graph(barriers, resource aliasing, async compute)
• GTAO
• specular GI
• diffuse GI
• clustered shading
• Bloom
• Auto Exposure
• TAA
• CAS
• meshlet
• RTX
• a reference pathtracer
• FSR2/DLSS/XeSS
• DOF
• motion blur
• visibility buffer
• Direct Storage
• maybe volumetric cloud/fog, water/ocean simulation, large-scale landscape, or any random things

third party licenses

• DLSS
• XeSS
• NRD
