Is three any plan to support the vulkan raytracing capture

Description

Is three any plan to support the raytracing capture?
we hope the renderdoc could support the these two new vulkan extensions,

VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline
VK_KHR_ray_query

so we can debug issues arise from developing the raytracing application.

Environment

• RenderDoc version: 1.14
• Operating System: windows
• Graphics API: Vulkan

I currently don't have any plans to work on ray tracing support.

thanks for response .
I am interested to implement this feature, but i am not familiar with renderdoc code base, can you point some directions to get going?

[baldurk]

This is a huge feature to implement and would impact many parts of the codebase significantly. I can't point you to a starting place because it's much too wide in scope to have simple directions.

To be honest this isn't something I would suggest that you tackle as your first entry to the project, and unless you expect that you will be able to dedicate sufficient time (e.g. one full-time year) to implement the support and analysis features robustly and ideally contribute to maintaining them going forward I would not recommend spending time on it.

[expenses]

Even though I know you don't take donations @baldurk (#328), I'd just like to say mention here that if someone did start implementing raytracing support I would be very happy to sponsor that effort. I know others would be as well.

I would love some RT support. I currently prefer renderdoc for everything debugging related, but for my RT projects I need to use NSIGHT's debugger 💀
