# Moonshine

**A spectral path tracer built with Zig + Vulkan**

*Salle de bain by nacimus, rendered with Moonshine*

### Features

* Binaries

    * offline -- a headless offline renderer

    * online -- a real-time windowed renderer

    * hydra -- a hydra render delegate

* Light Transport

    * Full spectral path tracing

    * Direct light sampling with multiple importance sampling for all lights and materials

* Lights

    * 360° environment maps

      * Sampled via [hierarchical warping](https://pharr.org/matt/blog/2019/06/05/visualizing-env-light-warpings)

    * Emissive meshes

      * Sampled according to power via 1D [hierarchical warping](https://pharr.org/matt/blog/2019/06/05/visualizing-env-light-warpings)

* Materials

    * Standard PBR with metallic + roughness

    * Mirror

    * Glass with dispersion

* Homogeneous volumes

### Dependencies

#### Build

* zig (see version [in CI](.github/workflows/build.yml))

* DirectXShaderCompiler

* For the online (real-time) renderer:

  * For Linux (Ubuntu, similar on others):

      * For Wayland: `wayland-protocols` `libwayland-dev` `libxkbcommon-dev`

      * For X11: `libxcursor-dev` `libxrandr-dev` `libxinerama-dev` `libxi-dev`

#### Run

* A GPU supporting Vulkan ray tracing
