abstract: >-
  Native C++20 DirectX 12/DXR game engine coupling GPU APIC/FLIP liquid
  simulation, a staggered MAC pressure grid, anisotropic particle surface
  reconstruction and sparse procedural liquid geometry with camera path tracing,
  spectral photon caustics and DLSS Ray Reconstruction. Optional experiments
  include CUDA interop, narrow-band particle/grid ownership, adaptive optical
  sampling and opaque-primary ReSTIR PT. Includes an interactive Windows Water
  Lab, validation fixtures and implementation notes. Not a general BDPT integrator
  or a fully sparse multiresolution fluid solver; public portfolio source with
  rights reserved.
