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
.objfile support- Simple physics
- Dynamic cameras with collision detection
What does it require?
The Krov Engine requires 3 libraries pre-installed
- GLM
- 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
This scene will likely change, as it is just the current scene Saalty is working on. Here are the controls for the current one:
| Key(s) | Use |
|---|---|
W |
Move forward |
S |
Move backward |
A |
Turn left |
D |
Turn right |
Q |
Zoom into player |
E |
Zoom out of player |
F & G |
Move the light source's X position |
H & J |
Move the light source's Y position |
K & L |
Move the light source's Z position |

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!
