# Strolle

Strolle (from _strålspårning_) is a real-time renderer with support for dynamic
global illumination:



Strolle's goal is to experiment with modern real-time lighting techniques such
as ReSTIR and see how far we can go on consumer hardware, especially the one
_without_ dedicated ray-tracing cores.

Strolle comes integrated with [Bevy](https://bevyengine.org/), but can be also
used on its own (through `wgpu`).

Status: Experimental, no official release yet (see the demo below, though!).
Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux & WebGPU.

## Gallery







(note that currently there's no denoiser for specular lighting)

## Examples

### Dungeon

``` shell
$ cargo run --release --example demo
```

Shows a dungeon tech demo, as in the example above.

Use WASD to move, mouse to navigate the camera, and:

- H/L: Adjust sun's azimuth,
- J/K: Adjust sun's altitude,
- F: Toggle flashlight on/off,
- M: Toggle diffuse/specular materials,
- T: Remove textures,
- 1: Show the final, composed image¹ (default),
- 2: Show direct-diffuse lighting only¹,
- 3: Show direct-specular lighting only¹,
- 4: Show indirect-diffuse lighting only¹,
- 5: Show indirect-specular lighting only¹,
- 8: Show BVH heatmap,
- 9: Switch camera to a path-traced reference mode (slow),
- 0: Switch camera to Bevy's renderer,
- ;: Toggle camera's controls on/off - useful for taking screenshots.

¹ press the same key again to toggle denoising on/off

### Cornell Box

``` shell
$ cargo run --release --example cornell
```

## Usage

### Bevy

Currently supported Bevy version: 0.12.1.

1. Add Strolle to your dependencies:

``` toml
[dependencies]
bevy_strolle = { git = "https://github.com/patryk27/strolle" }
```

2. Add a patch to work-around [a bug in Naga](https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga/issues/2373):

``` toml
[patch."crates-io"]
naga = { git = "https://github.com/Patryk27/naga", branch = "v0.13.0-strolle" }
```

3. Setup & enjoy!

```rust
App::new()
/* ... */
.add_plugins(StrollePlugin);

commands
.spawn(Camera3dBundle {
camera_render_graph: CameraRenderGraph::new(
bevy_strolle::graph::NAME,
),
camera: Camera {
hdr: true,
..default()
},
..default()
});
```

Note that Strolle completely overrides Bevy's camera graph, so you can't use a
Strolle camera together with Bevy's effects such as bloom or TAA - fragment and
vertex shaders won't work as well.

Also, Strolle is not optimized well towards higher resolutions - on non-high-end
GPUs, it's recommended to stick to ~800x600 and upscale the camera instead (see
the `demo.rs` here).
