Features:

• an easy to use viewer, with lots of GUI options
• G-buffer creation with support for physically based materials ( albedo, normal, roughness, metallic, mask)
• Cook-Torrance specular shading and Oren-Nayar diffuse shading for point lights
• light and mesh frustum culling
• deferred point lights, directional lights and environment mapping
• soft shadows
• dynamically updating point light shadows depending on scene changes
• temporal anti-aliasing
• HDR Bloom
• screen space ambient occlusion (HBAO)
• screen sapce reflections
• linear HDR pipeline.
• EXPERIMENTAL: screen space emissive materials (not updated to work right now)

Controls:

• " ^ " / the key above TAB : debug console with suggestions (tab to autocomplete)
• Space: Go into editor mode
  • R / T: Change transformation gizmos between translation and rotation
  • Del : Delete object
  • Insert : Copy object
• WASD : move the camera
• right mouse drag : rotate the camera
• F1 : Cycle through render targets (albedo, normals, depth etc.)

How to manipulate the scene

• See the Main / MainLogic.cs for details. Manipulate and add scene objects in Initialize() and Update();

Notes:

This solution provides a basic 3d deferred rendering engine implemented in Monogame. You will need to have Monogame (3.6.0187 or newer) installed and Visual Studio 2013+ to compile.

This is not intended to be an engine used for custom programs / games, but rather a playground which makes it easy to understand and implement custom shaders.

The sample scene contains the Sponza Atrium (from Crytek), the Stanford Dragon (http://www.cc.gatech.edu/projects/large_models/) and Daft Punk Helmets (by Anders Lejczak - http://www.colacola.se/expo_daft.htm)
