OpenGL GLSL Path Tracer

Path Tracer running in modern OpenGL in a Compute Shader.
I am using OpenTK which is a wrapper for C# on the CPU side of things.

Features: Depth of Field, precomputed Atmospheric Scattering, live object manipulation.

Try fusing rasterization with ray tracing. Everything including shadows is rasterized except for reflections and indirect lighting. That should allow your program to run real-time and minimize noise and rendering time.

Path tracer enscapsulated in a shader... really nice! Must have been hard to create.

Seen your work over in the NNM discord, finally I get to see it in action!

from the thumbnail this looked like a speedrun so I was just thinking "Coding a glsl path tracer speedrun any%"

This is awesome, if you leave it for some time, the image becomes very clean and realistic. Well done man!

[andisutejo]

Thank u so much. I've been so confused, but tNice tutorials video helped a lot.

[moritz]

What resources would you recommend to learn this? Not only beginner stuff but rather to render this. Thank you! Great Work

[Koffiato]

You may wanna try out TAA as it'll prevent the noise at the cost of blurriness

[BoofPack]

Wait what? It's in a compute shader? Would that allow for injection into other applications?

[shivavarunadicherla]

Must have been hard to make this. Definitely deserves a sub and a like. Would you mind if I ask how did you make caustics at such low samples?

[AmbreMusk]

can't see my browser nu...please help

[etaashmathamsetty]

add some denoising too!
It will help a lot!

[devdutmn]

Amazing! Are you planning to make a game engine? I'm an intermediate in c++ trying to learn opengl too. It looks awesome but ofc it will take some time to learn.

[Jkauppa]

use pre-bake surface light map rendering, in the ray tracer, only real time, not only off-line

[w.t.]

Cool! What technology is used to display the settings window? It's very convenient

[rampagex]

How long did it take you to learn opengl to be able to create this?

[cyrez]

Is it supports tracing arbitrary triangle meshes with textures?

[IstyManame]

r u considering adding any type of denoiser on top of this shader?

[spiraldive]

Where can i contact you? i have some idea how this could merge with something, would love to speak about it's possibilities.

[mariocamspam]

does it do denoising passes? would be cool to implenent
