rend3

Easy to use, customizable, efficient 3D renderer library built on wgpu.

Library is under active development. While internals will likely change quite a bit, the external api will only experience minor changes as features are added.

To use rend3 add the following to your Cargo.toml:

rend3 = "0.2.2"

Examples

Take a look at the examples getting started with the api.

Purpose

rend3 tries to fulfill the following usecases:

1. Games and visualizations that need a customizable, and efficient renderer.
2. Small projects that just want to put objects on screen, but want lighting and effects.
3. A small cog in a big machine: a renderer doesn't interfere with the rest of the program.

rend3 is not:

1. A framework or engine. It does not include all the parts needed to make an advanced game or simulation nor care how you structure your program. I do have plans for a rend3-util (or similar) crate that is a very basic framework for the second use case listed above.

GPU Culling

On Vulkan and DX12 "gpu mode" is enabled by default, which uses modern bindless resources and gpu-based culling. This reduces CPU load and allows sigifigantly more powerful culling.

Future Plans

I have grand plans for this library. An overview can be found in the issue tracker under the enhancement label.
