I'm excited to share the new Embree4 + SYCL backend I added to ChameleonRT to support the Intel Arc-series GPUs: https://github.com/Twinklebear/ChameleonRT#embree4--sycl , https://github.com/Twinklebear/ChameleonRT/tree/master/backends/embree_sycl! This (and the Vulkan & DXR backends) now run on the publicly available drivers for Arc on Windows, so try it out!

Our fantastic #Radeon #Developer Tool Suite helps you to analyze and #optimize #DirectX12 and #Vulkan games on PC 🛠️

At #GDC23 we're showcasing the #tools and sharing what's new, including our work with #LunarG for #DXR support in GFXReconstruct 👇

After close collaboration with #LunarG, we are thrilled to announce the addition of #D3D12 and #DXR support to GFXReconstruct!

✨GFXReconstruct is LunarG's #opensource tool that captures and replays GPU workloads 🌝

In 2019 I wrote a post & interactive tool on the #RTX shader binding table to explain it across #DXR / #Vulkan / #OptiX . It's still relevant today so I'm reposting it here: https://www.willusher.io/graphics/2019/11/20/the-sbt-three-ways . I extended this to a chapter in RT Gems 2 (Ch. 15) that talks about the SBT and some example configurations: http://www.realtimerendering.com/raytracinggems/rtg2/

With the tool you can setup an SBT, scene and call trace ray to see what shaders are called!
