Wicked Engine Gets DX12 And Vulkan Raytracing Support

The open source cross platform C++ powered game engine Wicked Engine, just got raytracing and path tracing support for both DX12 and Vulkan renderers.  Available as both a low level framework for building your own game engine, or as a fully capable engine on it’s own, Wicked Engine boosts the following features:

• DirectX 11, DirectX 12 & Vulkan renderers
• Image rendering,animation : 2D,3D space
• Font rendering (True Type)
• Networking (UDP)
• meshes,objects,armatures,animation,materials,lights,hit-spheres,wind,world info,dynamic cameras,ribbon trails,particle systems
• 3D mesh rendering
• Skeletal animation
• Physically based materials
• Animated texturing
• Normal mapping
• Displacement mapping
• Parallax occlusion mapping
• Real time planar reflections
• Cube map reflections (static and real time)
• Refractions (screen space, blurred)
• Interactive Water
• Gaussian Blur
• Bloom
• Edge outline
• Motion Blur
• Lens Flare
