What is this project?

This is toy game engine that aims to have a modern, parallel-first design. It's main purpose is to be a sandbox to experiment and learn within.

The renderer uses a modern DX12/Vulkan deferred bindless architecture and will, over time, support a lot of modern rendering features.

Current Rendering Features

• Bindless architecture
• Full pbr pipeline
• Clustered deferred pipeline
• Compute-based light culling
• Dynamic diffuse global illumination
• Specular reflection probes
• Raytracing support
• Automatic exposure
• Blended weighted order independent transparency
• Screen space ambient occlusion
• Standard shadow mapping features
• Standard light features
• Texture streaming

How do I build it?

Currently the project uses visual studio 2022 and C++20 for compilation.

We use cmake for generating project files. You can either use the cmake frontend to generate the project files, or you can use one of the generate_* shell scripts inside the engine/scripts folder.

Once generated the project files are stored in the intermediate folder, at this point you can just open them and build the project in visual studio.

Wheres the documentation?

Head over to the wiki from the tabs above, it has some good documentation on what you need to do to get setup.
