Block-based geometry compression SDK
Dense Geometry Compression Format (DGF) is a block-based geometry compression technology developed by AMD. It is a hardware-friendly format which will be directly supported by future GPU architectures.
Download the latest version - v1.0
This release adds the following features:
Just released!
The DGF SDK is fully open-source. The source code is self-contained and can be downloaded and built directly.
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.
Solving the Dense Geometry Problem
Discover how AMD’s Dense Geometry Compression Format (DGF) revolutionizes graphics by compressing complex models for efficient real-time rendering, bridging the gap between rasterization and ray tracing.
Benefits
Dense Geometry Compression 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.
For more information please refer to our blog post or the technical paper, or watch the video below.
- The High-Performance Graphics (HPG) conference YouTube channel also hosts a video of the DGF presentation we made at HPG in July 2024.
