Engine
- Graceful exit with error reporting upon device lost instead of crashing

- Extended support for DXC compiler flags
- Release/Debug shaders are now separately cached
- Added more built-in materials: Checkerboard_Glossy, Checkerboard_Rough, Checkerboard_Metallic, MetallicBlack_VerySmooth
Scenes
- Default scene: assigned PBR material to the ground, swapped cylinder with the boombox model, load an environment map
- Stress Test scene: crank up object count, add randomized materials with compile-time toggles
Bug Fixes
- Fixed RenderDoc not being able to attach / device lost upon launch
- Fixed build script failing with file paths with spaces in them

VQE-v0.8.0 - ImGui UI & FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0
RELEASE NOTES
Features
Renderer
- FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0 integrated with minimal support
- EASU (Upscaling) & RCAS (Sharpening) passes with sharpness slider, presets and custom upscaling ratio between [0.5, 1.0]
- TAA, MipBias & HDR are NOT supported with this release and will be added at a later date
Engine
- Added UI using Dear ImGui
- Profiler, Graphics Options, Debug Panel and Scene Editor windows with various controls
- Updated camera controller and mouse capture behavior
- Left Click : Orbit Camera
- Right Click : 'FPS' Camera
- Mouse is now only captured when right or left click is held to operate the camera, and will stay uncaptured while interacting with the UI
- Removed pipelined Update+Render threads, merged them into a single Simulation thread
- This change is added to support the ImGui integration as ImGui didn't provide a deferred context without global state, which made the engine architecture incompatible with ImGui by resulting in a race condition when the update thread is writing into the global context that the render thread is reading to draw
- A preprocessor define
VQENGINE_MT_PIPELINED_UPDATE_AND_RENDER_THREADSwas added to toggle between the two architectures, although the separate update+render threads disable UI rendering
- Added frame stat collection
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the DownloadAssets.bat script after the texture website updated its URL for the assets
- VSync can sometimes add some frame delay

VQE v0.1.0 - Hello Triangle!
Release Notes
First version release of the modern VQEngine: v0.1.0 - Hello Triangle!
Features
Multi-threading
- 3 Independent threads
- Main Thread : Handles Windows events and buffers the events for consumption in other threads, ensuring seamless application behavior
- Update Thread : Simulates scene, prepares data for the Render Thread, doesn't run ahead more frames than the back buffer has.
- Render Thread: Picks up scene data from the Update Thread and issues draw commands
- Thread Pools as worker threads for the Update and Render thread for parallelizing workloads, scaled by available threads on the system.
DXGI Window Management & D3D12 Rendering
- 3 Display Modes supported
- Windowed
- Borderless Fullscreen
- Exclusive Fullscreen
- Multiple windows supported on multiple monitors
- Alt+Enter Fullscreen transitions for both Borderless & Exclusive modes
- Hello World Triangle rendering in D3D12 with synchronized Update & Render threads
Utilities
- Logging to File and a separate Console window
- Command-line parameters
- Configurable settings through
EngineSettings.inifile inData/folder next to the executable- Set resolution
- Set preferred monitor
- Set fullscreen window
- Set Debug window properties (visible, resolution, fullscreen, preferred monitor)
Automated Build & Testing
Build/PackageEngine.batto sync dependencies, generate project files, build in release mode and package the binaries for distributionBuild/GenerateProjectFiles.batto sync dependencies and generate project filesScripts/TestVQE.batto test runVQE.exefor a specified number of frames (1000 default)
Known Issues
- Memory leak on Window events (resize + fullscreen). This'll be fixed on v0.2.0.
