Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Vulkan

Vulkan compute path tracing (SPIR-V kernels) with CPU-readable output via staging buffers when a Vulkan 1.2+ runtime is available.

Install

dotnet add package Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Vulkan

Prerequisites: .NET 10 SDK (net10.0), Vulkan 1.2+ loader and compatible GPU.

Quick start

using Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Vulkan;
using Novolis.Rendering.Runtime;

await using var backend = new VulkanRayTracingBackend();
await backend.ResizeAsync(1280, 720);
await backend.UploadSceneAsync(compiledScene);

await backend.RenderAsync(camera, sampleIndex: 0);
backend.Output.TryGetCpuPixels(out var pixels, out var w, out var h);

Select with NOVOLIS_RAY_BACKEND=vulkan, PathTraceBackendKind.Vulkan, or UseVulkanBackend() in DI. GpuSurface may expose ICpuBackedGpuSurface for GPU-native presentation paths.

API

Type	Role
`VulkanRayTracingBackend`	`IRayTracingBackend`; compute path tracer
`VulkanWireframeRenderer`	Optional wireframe overlay helper
`VulkanWireVertex`	Wireframe vertex layout

Dogfooding / apps

Hot-switched in path-tracing demos via PathTraceSession.SwitchBackend(PathTraceBackendKind.Vulkan). Wireframe helpers support debug overlays in studio samples.

SPIR-V compute kernels ship embedded; no external shader files at runtime.

See NOVOLIS_RAY_BACKEND=vulkan for demo backend selection.

Implements IRayTracingBackend and IDisposable.

Support

Pre-release platform library. Requires a working Vulkan loader; CPU readback uses staging when available.

Package	Role
`Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Igpu`	ILGPU instead of Vulkan
`Novolis.Rendering.Presentation.Abstractions`	`ICpuBackedGpuSurface`, `IGpuFramePresenter`
`Novolis.Rendering.DependencyInjection`	`UseVulkanBackend()`
`Novolis.Rendering.PathTrace.Demos`	Backend factory and hot-switch

Product	Compatible and additional computed target framework versions.
