SharpDX bindings were used for some platforms to understand how mapping works using SharpGenTools.
In order to compile, make sure no spaces are present in the solution path otherwise SharpGen will fail to generate bindings. Also, you need to install Visual Studio 2022 with the following components:
- Visual C++ Toolset Component
- Windows 11 SDK (10.0.22621.0)
- .NET 7 SDK
- Collection of samples
- Direct3D12 DXR samples by CAMongrel D3D12SampleRaytracerSharp.
- Direct3D12 DXR raytracing samples ported from NVIDIA samples by Jorgemagic
