Building

Windows

1. Prerequisites:

   • 64-bit CPU
   • GPU with ray tracing support
   • Git
   • Vulkan SDK
   • Visual Studio (any version after 2013)
   • Python 3

2. Clone this repository:

   • git clone https://github.com/sultim-t/Serious-Engine-RT.git

3. Fetch RTGL1 library submodule:

   • git submodule update --init

4. Build RTGL1 library:

   • The library uses CMake: Sources/RTGL1/CMakeLists.txt
   • Some of the configs can be found in Sources/RTGL1/CMakeSettings.json
   • Make sure that compiled static library RayTracedGL1.lib is located in either Sources/RTGL1/Build/x64-Release or Sources/RTGL1/Build/x64-Debug

5. Build shaders:

   • Run Sources/RTGL1/Source/Shaders/GenerateShaders.py. This script compiles SPIR-V files and places them into Sources/RTGL1/Build

6. Open solution Sources/AllTFE.sln in Visual Studio and build it.

   • The executables and libararies will be copied into Bin directory (or Bin/Debug if you are using the Debug configuration)

Other OS

Not supported.

Running

This version of the engine comes with a set of resources (SE1_10.gro) that allow you to freely use the engine without any additional resources required.

However, to run Serious Sam: The First Encounter Ray Traced:

1. Copy files from the original Serious Sam: The First Encounter
   • The list of required files is on the Releases page
2. Unpack TFE_RT_Textures.zip
   • Archive can be downloaded from the Releases page
   • It contains additional upscaled textures and PBR textures

Note:

• When running a selected project, make sure its project settings on Debugging is set to the right command:
  • For debug: $(SolutionDir)..\Bin\Debug\$(TargetName).exe
  • For release: $(SolutionDir)..\Bin\$(TargetName).exe
• And its working directory: $(SolutionDir)..\
