Deferred Radiance Transfer Volumes

-



FryCry3
Global illumination
- low frequency advance transfer
- sun & sky bounce
- sky effect



Realtime Relighting
-GI update with - sun / color 
                 - time of day
                 - artist

- update with sun direction

Probe placement



   - support automation  world is large
    - vegetation bounding box to avoid noise
    - 3d grid for spatial indexing
    -  cell preferences closest probe

Probe baking

precomputed radiance ransfer
   - prt stored as 2nd order SH for each basis direction
   - 4x4 matrix of SH coefficients



SKY visibility
  - Low freq. spherical sky mask
  - single scalar for each basis direction

Local Radiance Transfer

    - Kristensen ET AL.,Siggraph 2005
    - assume at same pos as probes
     - store prt for a white light at each prob position


Real time relighting
 - driven by sun,sky
 - artist gradients
 - projected to 2nd order SH

Real time Relighting (PC)
 - compute light contribution each probe
   - result in color/intensities array
  - code runs on CPU/SPU
  - operations map well on GPU
  - find irradiance for each basis
   - find sky color for each basis
   - multiply be sky visibility
   - more basis added for more accuracy

Volume texture
 - fast probe one GPU
 - good for large object
 - RGBA 96x96x16


  - expensive    

Temporal amortization
   - update slice for which no data is available
   - wrapping avoid shifting exist slices

Vol. texture wrapping

Ambient shading
 - deferred rendering
 - single G-buffr pass
 - HDR lighting, post processing


deferred 
    - 4 RT  in one pass
   
- bounce is not pronounced at night 
- color variation from sky hemisphere

Transparencies / skin
Interior ambient
 - different light intensity indoor/ outdoor
 - low vol. resolution cases probe

Distant ambient
  - extra care for distant vegetation
  - use top down occlusion texture
 - one tile per world sector
 - occlusion from probes

PPU kick command buffer

PC. volume textures are blurred to soften the irradiance, add more vegetation occlusion

Drawing textured cube with Vulkan on Android

Vulkan is a modern hardware-accelerated Graphics API. Its goal is providing an high efficient way in low-level graphics and compute on modern GPUs for PC, mobile, and embedded devices. I am personally working a self training project, vulkan-android , to teach myself how to use this new APIs. The difference between OpenGL and Vulkan OpenGL: Higher level API in comparison with Vulkan, and the next generation of OpenGL 4 will be Vulkan.   Cross-platform and Cross-language (mostly still based on C/C++, but people implemented diverse versions and expose similar API binding based on OpenGL C++, WebGL is a good example).  Mainly used in 3D graphics and 2D image processing to interact with GPU in order to achieve hardware acceleration. Don't have a command buffer can be manipulated at the application side. That means we will be easily see draw calls being the performance bottleneck in a big and complex 3D scene. Vulkan: Cross-platform and low-overhead. Erase the boundary bet...

glTF loader for Android Vulkan

This post is going to introduce how we integrate with an existing glTF loader library to make it be able to show glTF models in our Vulkan rendering framework,  vulkan-android . tinygltf In the beginning, we don't want to make our new own wheel, so choosing  tinygltf as our glTF loader. tinygltf is a C++11 based library that would help us support all possible cross-platform project easily. tinygltf setup in Android Studio In  vulkan-android  project, we put third party libraries into third_party folder. Therefore, we need to include tinygltf from third_party folder in app/CMakeLists.txt as below. set(THIRD_PARTY_DIR ../../third_party) include_directories(${THIRD_PARTY_DIR}/tinygltf) Model loading from tinygltf We are going to load a gltf ASCII or binary format model from the storage. tinygltf provides two APIs , they are LoadBinaryFromFile() and LoadASCIIFromFile() respectively based on the extension name is *.glb or *.gltf. TinyGLTF loader will return a tiny...

C++ unit testing & CI integration in GitHub (I/2)

I am working on a side project,  Vulkan-Android , that is based on Java, JNI, C++, and Vulkan for Android platform. It also uses my C++ math library. Therefore, the requirement of my build and unit tests are around C++. First of all, I would make sure the unit tests in local are run properly. C++ unit test on Mac OS On Mac OS, I think the most convenient way to do unit testing for C++ is writing XCT in Xcode. In the beginning, we need to create a test plan in Xcode. It will helps us create a schema, then, in the test navigator, create a new Unit Test Target. Due to XCT was originally designed for Objective-C or Swift, if we wanna test our C++ code, we need a workaround by making the file extension name to be *.mm . And then, write down the unit tests as below: #import <XCTest/XCTest.h> #include "Vector3d.h" using namespace gfx_math; @interface testVector3D : XCTestCase @end @implementation testVector3D - (void)setUp { // Put setup code here. This method is cal...
