More examples?

[VinnyVicious]

Are more modern graphics rendering pipeline examples planned? For example:

• Ambient Occluision (GTAO)
• Terrain rendering / Tesselation
• Global illumination
• Ocean / Water

[apanteleev]

No, we're not currently planning to work on more examples here. Donut is being used to develop various SDKs such as RTXDI or Path Tracing SDK or KickstartRT. Basically, next-gen rendering tech. Providing examples on complex and well-known techniques (terrain, water) or techniques demonstrated elsewhere (GTAO) is outside of our current scope of work. Also, "global illumination" is a very broad topic with dozens of known solutions, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

[VinnyVicious]

Ah, thank you. That makes sense. I was under the impression it was more of a Benchmark or Engine sample.

Would Falcor be the place for this request, then?

[apanteleev]

You can request this of Falcor, but I doubt that they will do it either. Falcor and Donut serve similar purposes, only built for and by different teams (Graphics Research and DevTech, respectively).
