daxa-renderer

[misty merlin]

daxa-renderer is my newest project. Before that my project were Arise Engine(OpenGL) and Stellar Engine(Vulkan).
First it started around September with Arise Engine which ended because of lack of my C++ and I found OpenGL annoying in some aspects after a while I found out about Vulkan so I followed Brendan Galea tutorial and Stellar Engine began(November). I added offscreen rendering but when adding viewport I had problem with imgui since It didn't have good image support so I was getting validation layer errors so I gave up and took break. And in April added fixed viewport, shaderc, gltf loading, deffered rendering and IBL. When adding IBL I found that I need some serious abstraction but that would require rewrite almost of everything and that time daxa was in good shape.
So I am here starting new project from scratch. But this time I want actually learn math and how stuff works without copying code. I added ECS, Scene serialization for scene loading, gltf loading(soon I will port to fastgltf). I have basic forward rendering with PBR and IBL but I will go back to learn.

noice

you have more stuff to show for than i do 😄

so daxa-renderer will just use daxa as the engine?

and you build your thing around it?

or are you reinventing daxa under a new name? 🙂

[misty merlin]

Thank you. I thought otherwise. I use daxa as API because writing raw vulkan or making own abstraction isnt certainly best idea. I want small app/project where I could iterate and expermitent with stuff

daxa-renderer is just temporary name. I am not good with creating names

[restive kelp]

makes sense

[shy flume]

You both have more stuff to show for than me lmao

Nice project using Daxa, Lukas👍👍

[restive kelp]

will it be just some editor thingy or some possible game?

[misty merlin]

Right now I am thinking how I would make modular system for my rendering with different options

[misty merlin]

For now just renderer with some editor stuff then maybe engine and then game. But I need limit my scope

[astral canyon]

daxa is not an engine

lukas did all the work

daxa is just a vulkan abstraction to make the shitty stuff from vulkan nice
