Lyrae Shaders

<b>Lyrae • Physically-Based Real-Time Path Traced Shaderpack</b>

📌 NOTICE: This project is currently in very early alpha stages. Expect issues, visual artifacts and varying performance. I have a huge roadmap. I'd appreciate any kind of feedback and your support!

Features

- Post-Processing - Monte Carlo global illumination with multiple light bounces - Fast voxel traversal via DDA algorithm - AABB tracing for detailed sub-voxels
- Post-Processing - Low-discrepancy blue noise sampling - Flexible SVGF denoiser pipeline - Next Event Estimation (NEE) for explicit sun sampling
- Post-Processing - Unified physically-based shading pipeline - Support for Post-Processing resource packs
- Post-Processing - Filmic tonemapping - Color grading - Auto exposure adjustment - Chromatic aberration

PBR Support

Lyrae supports LabPBR standard. So make sure to use a resourcepack with LabPBR material support, here's a LabPBR on shaderlabs site.

Performance Tips

- I tried to write detailed descriptions for all settings, so you can hover over them in-game for more detailed performance tips. - `Samples` is one setting with the most impact on the performance, because it increases the path complexity exponentially. Try to keep this at 1 if you want to enjoy real-time. - You can try changing the `Resolution Scale` setting, lowering this from 100% will make the lighting quality lower. - For most scenarios 3 bounces is enough. 2 bounces will not have indirect lighting, so GI will look less accurate. - If you are in a *completely isolated* room where no sunlight is visible, you can try disabling NEE. Note that disabling NEE will break sun light. - You generally shouldn't mess with SVGF settings unless you know what you're doing. If you are okay with noisy image you can disable spatial filtering.
