CMGT TTT Assignment: GPU Ray Tracing vs Unity Built-In Renderer

Welcome to the documentation Wiki for my Creative Media & Game Technologies (CMGT) "Tool / Technology / Technique" assignment. This project focuses on creating custom Ray-Tracing shader, evaluating and comparing it against Unity's built-in rendering pipeline.

Project Goal

The main objective of this project is to assess performance and image quality differences between:

A custom ray tracer built with Unity (C#/HLSL)

Unity’s built-in rendering pipeline

These metrics are evaluated across scenes of increasing complexity in terms of geometry (triangle count).

Evaluation Proposal

"Evaluate performance and image-quality differences between a custom ray tracer (C#/HLSL) and Unity’s built-in Renderer across increasing scene and mesh complexity using Unity Profiler and Stats."
