• Repo link
• Features Implemented
  • Forward+
  • Clustered Deferred
  • Blinn-Phong Shading
  • G-Buffer Optimizations (packed vec4s, oct-encoding normals, reconstructing position from depth)
• Feedback
  • The MS counter in the top-left shows 0 MS only for the Forward Rendering algorithm - I'm not sure what caused this but it was tricky finding a workaround for the performance analysis
  • The frustum computation was definitely the most time-consuming part of the assignment. I think I learned a lot from it, but it definitely took me 4-5 days to fully debug/work it out. Since it took a lot of time, I felt that the latter half of the assignment was a bit rushed and might benefit from being a longer assignment in the future to fully grasp the concepts (1.5-2 weeks like the Denoiser).

NOTE: My live demo builds, but the link shows up as a black screen. I have provided a video link at the top of my README if this issue persists (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hks89b1wc_5jfxyF3ZxufNVehuU-L37o/view?usp=share_link)
