Test06 - GPU Path Tracing with CUDA - Physics + More IBL
25I quickly put this video together to show how my path tracer can handle dynamic scene primitives in addition to the static BVH that it typically uses. I added a simple sphere-based physics simulation to provide a suitably dynamic environment.
The latter part of the video shows basic IBL transformation - that is, the manipulation of the HDR image used to provide colour and lighting information for the scene. I simply rotate the 'environment' about the x, y and z axes to change the lighting across the entire scene. Glass spheres are used to show the real time caustics being generated.
The path tracer is running at 1080p in real time on the GPU using CUDA, with OpenGL used to provide the progressive display updates (CUDA / OpenGL interop).
