- the article provides an overview of a denoising solution for raytraced global illumination based on the findings of Metro: Exodus
- presents how to improve temporal accumulation through blue noise and geometry aware blurs
- it additionally sounds how the ambient occlusion term can be used for further improvement
- the article discusses a method for a simple non-PBR method to implement underwater caustics
- implementation uses a projection volume for multiple tiling textures
- code examples are provided using Unity
- the article presents a walkthrough of the implementation of a complete skybox model, including time of day, moon, sun, and stars
- it additionally shows how to integrate support for lunar and solar eclipses
- the implementation of the sky colors is implemented as a function of the sun position to sample multiple gradients
- the article describes a large number of changes and improvements made to the AMD and Vulkan Memory allocator
- the changes include new allocation algorithms, improved statics, support for custom pools as well as support for defragmentation
- additionally, the allocator can now be used when sub-allocating from a single large buffers resource
