Objective

  • Lighting is a smooth signal, for the most part
  • DLSS-RR is already very good at taking a sparse signal, and estimating a smooth signal
  • Solari is expensive - can we make it cheaper by generating a sparser signal?

Solution

  • Add options for stochastic quarter-res direct and indirect lighting, greatly improving performance
    • PSR is disabled for quarter-res indirect lighting, as otherwise there would be artifacts from only modifying part of the guide buffers
  • Add more controls to the solari demo
  • Cleanup some unused imports

Showcase

(Keep in mind timings are not stable as I did not lock to base clocks)
