Physically based path tracer, on CPU (OpenMP) and GPU (OptiX / RT cores), importing glTF scenes exported from Blender.
Understand and control every stage of a path tracing pipeline — BVH construction, intersection, sampling — with the longer-term ambition of replacing the traversal heuristic with a small neural network (Neural BVH).
Binary BVH built by centroid sorting (simplified SAH), Möller–Trumbore intersection, path tracing integrator with Next Event Estimation and Russian roulette, PBR GGX/Cook-Torrance materials, ACES tone mapping. Full GPU port via OptiX to exploit hardware ray tracing.
Working GPU rendering on complex glTF scenes (RTX 5070 Ti). The Neural BVH part remains a stated research goal, not yet implemented.
