blitz

A deferred renderer written in C++ and Vulkan. This will be the repository for a deferred renderer that I am currently writing. Follow along with the development by starring this repository or on on the blog of my website.

Installation

Dependencies

To install you will need the following tools:

• CMake 3.16
• A C++ compiler toolchain with support for C++14

Make sure to have the following libraries installed and visible to CMake

• Vulkan SDK 1.2
• GLM 0.9.9.7
• GLFW 3.3

Building

To build execute the following commands from the root of the repository

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make && make install

The blitz binary should then be found in the bin folder from the repository root which can then be executed to run the renderer.

Features

• Indexed draw mode
• Texture support w/ mip map creation at runtime
• Depth stencil testing
• Multisampled anti-aliasing
• Blinn-Phong shading model
• Deferred shading

Future Work

• UI improvements
• GLTF scene loading
• Physically-based lighting
