A Vulkan game engine WIP

Canella

Experiments on crafting a 3D vulkan game engine. (Work In Progress)

Feature List

• Task and mesh shader implementation and early backface culling. Mesh is decomposed of a collection of small portions called meshlets. The task shader filter the meshes by using backface culling

  

• Frustum Culling in compute Shaders

  

• ImGui Implementation

• GPU Driven Indirect Drawing.

• Graphic setup serialization (Creation of Renderpass and Pipelines) in json FORMAT.

• RenderGraph to automatically create the render passes and write attachments (WORK IN PROGRESS).

Features To be done

• Virtualized Texture Access.
• Vertex Skinning and IK Rig
• Implement more render nodes (PBR path with indirect diffuse, HBAO+,Bloom etc...)
• Multhread command buffer generation
• and the list will go on forever...
