DGF SDK v1.1.0

Features

• Reference pipeline for geometry clustering and DGF compression.
• Reference code for CPU and GPU decompression of DGF data.
• Documentation of DGF block format.
• Sample command-line encoder and viewer application.

Benefits

Dense Geometry Format (DGF) is a hardware-friendly geometry compression format which will be directly supported by future GPU Architectures. The DGF SDK provides a reference encoding pipeline and HLSL code for shader-based decompression, features permissive open-source licensing, and is available to all for evaluation and engine integration.

Changes in v1.1.0

• Added an animation-aware compression flow.
• Added a sample demonstrating real-time update of animated DGF blocks.
• Added Vulkan support to all samples. Vulkan is used when the sample is run with –vulkan on the command line.
• Vulkan sample paths will use the VK_AMDX_dense_geometry_format extension where available.
• Added an option to generate DGF blocks for pre-clustered input.
• Various bug fixes and performance enhancements.
