RegEngine

Yet another approach to developing a personal 3D graphics engine. Windows + Direct3D 12.

Work in progress... Nothing to see here. Just playing around 😀 Features implemented:

Rendering:

  • Direct3D 12 initialization and usage
  • Loading 3D models (using Assimp library)
  • Basic deferred shading

Other:

  • GUI (using Dear ImGui library)
  • Configuration loaded from and saved to a file (using RapidJSON library)
