DXR Project

A hobby rendering and game engine created for testing and experimenting with various rendering techniques. While the project began as a DirectX Raytracing (DXR) experimentation engine, it has evolved into a versatile platform with both D3D12 and Vulkan backends. The focus has shifted toward abstracting graphics APIs, exploring game engine architecture, and experimenting with advanced rendering techniques.
