# Optimized Raytracing MetaBall: Acceleration and Transparent 

🔮GPU-based real-time raytracing rendering of transparent metaball. (Project for CS337 Computer Graphics)

## Features

* Implement BVH acceleration for MetaBalls

* Implement transparent (trace refraction rays) for MetaBalls

* GPU-based real-time rendering of the final scene (acceleration and transparent).

## Final Scene

Transparent metaballs: 25  

w: 1920, h: 1080  

recursion depth: 8  

fps: > 60

![](./img/final_scene.png)

## Requirements

* GPU and driver with support for [DirectX 12 Ultimate](http://aka.ms/DirectX12UltimateDev)

* Windows 10 SDK 22000

* Shader model >= 6.5

## Controls

* ALT+ENTER - toggles between windowed and fullscreen modes.

* C - enable/disable camera animation.

* L - enable/disable light animation.

## Performance Benchmark

### BVH acceleration

We test two cases (with and without BVH acceleration) on a scene with 9 non-transparent metaballs. (1920 x 1080, recursion depth = 3)

| BVH    | fps  |

| ----------- | ---- |

| BVH unabled | 89   |

| BVH enabled | 601  |

- Without BVH

- With BVH

### Interval Refinement 

We test two cases (with interval refinment and without) on a scene with 125 non-transparent metaballs. (1920 x 1080, recursion depth = 3)

Visible differences in visual effects

### Transparent

## Known Issues

* Hardcoded shader index 

* MetaBalls need a wraper for closest-hit shader
