# The Krov Engine
|
|
|
|
## What is this?
|
|
The Krov Engine is a GPU-accelerated raytracing engine made in C++ with love by Saalty, a friend of mine. His github account is @waternine9\. All credit goes to him.
|
|
|
|
## What does it do?
|
|
The Krov Engine can support:
|
|
- Real-time rendering
|
|
- Raytracing
|
|
- Soft & hard shadows
|
|
- `.obj` file support
|
|
- Simple physics
|
|
- Dynamic cameras with collision detection
|
|
- Up to 500k triangles at real-time
|
|
|
|
## What does it require?
|
|
The Krov Engine requires 2 libraries pre-installed
|
|
- OpenCV
|
|
- CUDA
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Since this program requires CUDA, an Nvidia product, you must also have an Nvidia graphics card, preferably GTX 1650 or better.
|
|
|
|
## How do I install it?
|
|
Simple (kind of)! Just create a C++ CUDA project, preferably using Visual Studio 2019, add the files and folders in this github repo to the project, and install the libraries mentioned above!
|
|
|
|
## The default scene
|
|
There is no default scene anymore, as it is a header file which can be used to make your own raytraced games.

This is Saalty's hobby, and along with AI, this is his favorite topic of computer science. I may pitch in occasionally, but most of this work is completely his. Hope you have fun with it!
