A Vulkan sample application demonstrating a hybrid rendering pipeline that combines rasterization with ray tracing. It integrates ray traced shadows, ambient occlusion, reflections, and global illumination into a deferred rendering pipeline.

Use cases

• learn how to combine rasterization and ray tracing in Vulkan
• study a real-time ray traced global illumination implementation
• see how ray traced shadows and reflections integrate into a deferred pipeline
• explore VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline usage in a sample
• reference for building a hybrid rendering engine

When to choose

• you want a working C++/Vulkan example of hybrid rasterization plus ray tracing
• you need reference code for ray traced shadows, AO, reflections, or GI
• you have a ray tracing-capable NVIDIA/AMD GPU and want to study real-time rendering techniques

When to avoid

• you need a production rendering engine or game-ready framework
• you target platforms other than Windows
• your GPU lacks VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline and acceleration structure extensions
• you want a beginner-friendly introduction to Vulkan basics
