This is a part 2 in a series exploring Granite‘s Vulkan backend. See part 1 for an introduction. Part 2 dives into code, and starts with the basics. The focus will be to discuss object lifetimes and how Granite deals with the Vulkan rule that you cannot delete objects which are in use by the GPU.
The focus of this NVIDIA tutorial and the provided code is to showcase a basic integration of ray tracing within an existing Vulkan sample, using the VK_NV_ray_tracing extension. Note that for educational purposes all the code is contained in a very small set of files. A real integration would require additional levels of abstraction.
If you weren’t able to attend GDC this year to catch the AMD Advanced Graphics Techniques Tutorial Day and the AMD Sponsored Sessions in person, or you did but still wanted to grab the presentation content for your archives, AMD thought it’d be a good idea to put together a list for both, like they did last year. Check out the lists for session and speaker names, and direct download links with file types and sizes.
As part of our optimisation work, we have added Vulkan support to the game. We have been able to do this not only for Beyond, but for the current live version of the game. OpenGL has been replaced by Vulkan. Many players, particularly players with AMD graphics cards, should see a performance improvement. Read on to learn more about Vulkan and VR announcements.
