vulkan-ray-tracing

A few updates:

• Fixed skybox texture using the swapchain format instead of RGBA.
• Added cmake file to build the project

The ray tracing code is based on this blogpost. My first attempt at using Vulkan, the ray tracing algorithm is still very basic.

• The ray tracing algorithm is executed for each pixel in a compute shader
• The compute shader writes the color result in a texture
• The graphics pipeline merely renders the texture on the screen

How to build

To compile this project, you will need the following libraries

• Vulkan
• GLFW
• stb (for image loading)

Run the following command to build the project

mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ..
make
./vulkan_ray_tracer
