Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Vulkan

IRayTracingBackend contract shim labeled for lab backend cycling. Tracing is CPU (CpuRayTracingBackend). Rendering cannot take Silk.NET (NOV2016); real Vulkan/Shaderc lives in Novolis.Silk.Compute and is composed only at the GAME layer.

Install

dotnet add package Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Vulkan

Prefer Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Cpu or .Igpu for real path tracing.

Quick start

using Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Vulkan;
using Novolis.Rendering.Runtime;

using var backend = new VulkanRayTracingBackend(deterministic: true);
await backend.ResizeAsync(32, 24);
await backend.UploadSceneAsync(compiledScene);
await backend.RenderAsync(camera, sampleIndex: 0);
backend.Output.TryGetCpuPixels(out var pixels, out var w, out var h);
// BackendLabel == "Vulkan (CPU shim — Silk.Compute owns real VK)"

Select with NOVOLIS_RAY_BACKEND=vulkan, PathTraceBackendKind.Vulkan, or UseVulkanBackend() in DI.
