In this tutorial series from SIGGRAPH, we enhance a Vulkan renderer with ray tracing features to implement real-time pixel-perfect shadows (with and without transparency) and a bonus reflection effect. You will work with provided scaffolded code (based on the Vulkan Tutorial) and fill in key shader functions following step-by-step instructions.
