Vulkan Projects

VK PBR and Skeleton Animation

This is a start up project for me, to make sure that I can setup a vulkan rendering pipeline and combine my graphics knowledge with a modern API.

Intimidating at first, but soon I fell in love with the explicitness and clarity that vulkan provides.

This project implemented a complete PBR pipeline in vulkan (including diffuse and specular IBL) and GLTF skeleton animations with a ACES tonemapping pass.

Variable rate shading (VRS) in Vulkan

Adjust shading rate to reduce shading cost and at the same time avoiding quality degradation.

Ported nvidia's DirectX implementation into Vulkan.
