Setting up FidelityFX Hybrid Reflections

The FidelityFX Hybrid Reflections sample uses FidelityFX Classifier to generate a denoise tile list and a ray tracing tile list, FidelityFX Single Pass Downsampler to create a depth hierarchy for depth buffer travesal, and FidelityFX Denoiser to remove noise from the results of tracing jittered reflection rays

Setting up FidelityFX Classifier

Include the interface for the backend of the FidelityFX Classifier API.

C++:

Copied!

#include <FidelityFX/host/ffx_classifier.h>

Create FidelityFX Classifier context

Copied!

m_ClassifierInitializationParameters.flags = FfxClassifierInitializationFlagBits::FFX_CLASSIFIER_REFLECTION ;
m_ClassifierInitializationParameters.flags |= GetConfig ()->InvertedDepth  ? FFX_CLASSIFIER_ENABLE_DEPTH_INVERTED  : 0;
m_ClassifierInitializationParameters.resolution.width  = resInfo.RenderWidth;
m_ClassifierInitializationParameters.resolution.height = resInfo.RenderHeight;
m_ClassifierInitializationParameters.backendInterface  = m_BackendInterface;
FFX_ASSERT(ffxClassifierContextCreate (&m_ClassifierContext, &m_ClassifierInitializationParameters) == FFX_OK );

Set up the dispatch parameters and dispatch

Copied!

FfxClassifierReflectionDispatchDescription  dispatchParameters = {};
dispatchParameters.commandList                = ffxGetCommandList (pCmdList);
...
FfxErrorCode errorCode = ffxClassifierContextReflectionDispatch (&m_ClassifierContext, &dispatchParameters);

Setting up depth downsampler

Include the interface for the backend of FidelityFX Single Pass Downsampler (SPD) API.

C++:

Copied!

#include <FidelityFX/host/ffx_spd.h>

Create FidelityFX SPD context

Copied!

m_SpdInitializationParameters.flags = 0;
m_SpdInitializationParameters.flags |= FFX_SPD_WAVE_INTEROP_WAVE_OPS ;
m_SpdInitializationParameters.downsampleFilter = GetConfig ()->InvertedDepth  ? FFX_SPD_DOWNSAMPLE_FILTER_MAX : FFX_SPD_DOWNSAMPLE_FILTER_MIN;
m_SpdInitializationParameters.backendInterface = m_BackendInterface;
FFX_ASSERT(ffxSpdContextCreate (&m_SpdContext, &m_SpdInitializationParameters) == FFX_OK );

Copy the depth buffer into the depth hierarchy, set up the dispatch parameters, and dispatch

Copied!

FfxSpdDispatchDescription  dispatchParameters = {};
dispatchParameters.commandList                = ffxGetCommandList (pCmdList);
...
FfxErrorCode errorCode = ffxSpdContextDispatch (&m_SpdContext, &dispatchParameters);

Setting up the FidelityFX Denoiser

Include the interface for the backend of the FidelityFX Denoiser API.

C++:

Copied!

#include <FidelityFX/host/ffx_denoiser.h>

Create the FidelityFX Denoiser context

Copied!

m_DenoiserInitializationParameters.flags                      = FfxDenoiserInitializationFlagBits::FFX_DENOISER_REFLECTIONS ;
m_DenoiserInitializationParameters.windowSize.width           = resInfo.RenderWidth;
m_DenoiserInitializationParameters.windowSize.height          = resInfo.RenderHeight;
m_DenoiserInitializationParameters.normalsHistoryBufferFormat = GetFfxSurfaceFormat (m_pNormal->GetFormat());
m_DenoiserInitializationParameters.backendInterface           = m_BackendInterface;
FFX_ASSERT(ffxDenoiserContextCreate (&m_DenoiserContext, &m_DenoiserInitializationParameters) == FFX_OK );

Set up the dispatch parameters and dispatch

Copied!

FfxDenoiserReflectionsDispatchDescription  denoiserDispatchParameters = {};
denoiserDispatchParameters.commandList  = ffxGetCommandList (pCmdList);
...
FfxErrorCode errorCode = ffxDenoiserContextDispatchReflections (&m_VRSContext, &dispatchParameters);
