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...

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.
