THIS ENGINE IS BEING MADE FOR A GAME< not a generic engine, I'll have the GDD/Story etc. soon here!
Razix is a cross-Platform 3D engine with multi render API support (Vulkan, DirectX 12). It's being built on a new design principle of "Everything is as asset" to replace traditonal gameobject and ECS systems and primarily focusing on making a game one day soon. I have a game idea that I'll be showcasing using the engine in 2025 hopefully, eventually I hope razix will be mature enough one day. It's also my portfolio + practice sandbox for making a trippy game.

- Built using C++17. (Engine will be reverted back to C++14 once entt/sol have been removed and only Jolt will be compiled in C++17 mode)
- C++14 over C++11 because
constexprandsizeofand improvedlamdbasare needed for framegraph.
- C++14 over C++11 because
- Support for Windows, Linux, macOS.
- Support for Vulkan & DirectX 12.
- Data Driven Framegraph based on EA's frostbite engine (based on skaarj
1989's Framegraph implementation)
- Uses Custom Node Graph Editor
| Node based Frame Graph Editor |
|---|
| FrameGraph lifetimes |

- 3D audio using OpenAL
- Complete Deferred pipeline + Bindless resources + nanite-like renderers(Future support for customizable render graph editor for complete control).
- Runtime tools using ImGui + Blender Support as level editor
- Multi Physics engine support.
- 3D physics using Jolt.
- Basic lua scripting support
- Extremely detailed profiling using Tracy and RenderDoc integrated
- Supports HLSL shading language to create custom materials + Custom Razix Shaders files for easy compilation
- Resource Pool base management and custom asset format
- Data drive pipeline architecture - FrameGraph uses JSON files
- Custom Razix STL and Razix Memory
- WorldRenderer Passes
- Lighting and shadows
- Directional lights with CSM (Cascaded Shadow Mapping)
- Point lights
- Spot lights
- Deferred PBR
- IBL
- Skybox (HDR & Procedural)
- SSAO
- Debug Drawing
- ImGUi
- Tonemapping
- FXAA
- TAA (WIP)
- Lighting and shadows
Experimental features:
- Machine Learning sandbox (custom NNs class + Transformers WIP) CPU only for now, later might be ported over the engine RHI layer
- Department based memory/frame time budget profiling (inspiration from SMS GDC talk and Insomniac engine)
- I have a secret RazixGPT runst LLM might use it for game NPCs one day.
DirectX11, OpenGL has been deprecated. Only high-level APIs and RTX level GPUs will be supported. PSVita(GXM) and PS3(GCM) will be supported sometime far in future.
Assumes you have VULKAN_SDK installed and the env variable is configured properly
