Maybe better with a link to https://nvpro-samples.github.io/vk_raytracing_tutorial_KHR/ https://nvpro-samples.github.io/vk_raytracing_tutorial_KHR/ as it's the actual tutorial and has all the content.

That page doesn't load. It says: (insert vkrt_tutorial.md.htm here) Meanwhile the repository readme actually loads and shows useful information when loading from https://github.com/nvpro-samples/vk_raytracing_tutorial_KHR https://github.com/nvpro-samples/vk_raytracing_tutorial_KHR

  Yeah, looks like they are doing weird stuff to load the actual content, not sure what that is about, maybe loading stuff dynamically from GitHub or something? Looking at the source of the page, they are using some JS library called markdeep that seems to render the content, so if you don't have JS activated, it won't work. Similarly, overzealous or misconfigured adblockers would probably make it not work as well.

    Do you think it's really overzealous or misconfigured to block unusual use of content?
    - capableweb 7y ago
      Well, I myself use adblockers for all my browsers and I sometimes add my own rules that blocks more than I actually wanted. Are you saying it's impossible to misconfigure the blocklists in adblockers? Just trying to help you out with figuring out what's wrong. If you don't want help or to fix the issue, maybe refrain from posting next time.

        No, it's definitely possible. But I think your definition of what you want and my definition aren't wholly compatible.

AMD's RDNA 2 is expected to have hardware ray tracing acceleration. Do you think that Vulkan will adopt support for it and everything in this guide will be identical (ie, relatively hardware independent)?

  Yeah, the Nvidia specific extension was NV_ray_tracing, the cross vendor one (KHR_ray_tracing) is what's shown here. The KHR one will support AMD and Intel: https://www.khronos.org/news/press/khronos-group-releases-vulkan-ray-tracing https://www.khronos.org/news/press/khronos-group-releases-vu...
