A standalone application for rendering procedural planetary images on the GPU.
Can use both realtime and offline raytracing/pathtracing (RT/PT) + raymarching (RM).
- Atmospheric scattering (RM)
- Volumetric light
- Cloud precipitation (RM)
- Procedural terrain (RM, RT/PT for shadows)
- RM for accelerated soft shadows
- Procedural objects (spheres & cubes) (RT/PT)
- Only diffuse material
- View from any location (including the space)
- Real physical properties
- Color correction (Radiance ➡ Luminance)
- Cloud scattering function
- Based on real measurements
- Optimizations
- Light shafts approximation
- Configurable output image size
- PNG output format
- Tiled rendering (for lower-end devices)
- BGFX framework limited to OpenGL backend
- Raw GLSL used in (mainly compute) shaders
- GLM for algebraic calculations
- SDL for input
Use 64-bit Visual Studio 2022 with MSVC v143 C++ workload and Windows 10 SDK 10.0.19041.0.
Tested on GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile and Intel UHD Graphics 630.
