  • [CUDA/C++] CUDA Path Tracer

    [CUDA/C++] CUDA Path Tracer

    Feature Introduction A GPU CUDA path tracer with serval visual effects and optimations that utilizes GPU parallelism. Visual Effects Materials Overview Rays are shot from camera and bouncing around in the scene. Material surface properties determine the way rays behave. For every bounce in every ray, a shading function will be called to compute the…

    [C++/OpenGL] Mini-Minecraft

    This is the final project of CIS 560 Interactive Computer Graphics. In this project I implemented the following features: Efficient Terrain Rendering and Chunking Efficient chunk rendering Interleaved vertex data To better store and use the vertex attributes, I wrote a struct “BlockFace” which has the direction, position, normal and color data of a face…

  • [OpenGL/C++/Qt] Shader Fun

    [OpenGL/C++/Qt] Shader Fun

    In this project, I implemented several vertex/fragment shaders and post-processing shaders in OpenGL pipeline. Surface Shaders Below are some examples of effects implemented in vertex/fragment shader . Matcap Reflection Shader The basic idea of this shader is to map the (x, y) coordinates of the surface normal of a fragment to a point in the…
