VulkanMiniEngine

VulkanMiniEngine is an experimental GPU-driven renderer. It is being developed for educational purposes and currently WIP.

Expected features

• Windows and Linux support
• Vulkan 1.3 renderer (with use of VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering)
• Barriers handling with render graph
• Fully GPU-driven rendering
• ECS architecture (based on EnTT)
• Dependency management via vcpkg

Build

Prerequisites

• GPU with Vulkan 1.3 support is required, please check that your drivers are updated to the latest version (all main IHVs already have support of Vulkan 1.3)
• Vulkan SDK 1.3 (1.3.204 was tested) should be installed (check that VULKAN_SDK environment var is correct)
• On Linux, check that GLFW dependencies are installed (https://www.glfw.org/docs/3.3/compile.html#compile_deps)
• Build tools: cmake 3.21+, ninja

Steps

# configure
cmake --preset ninja-multi-vcpkg
# Debug build
cmake --build --preset ninja-multi-vcpkg-debug
# Release build
cmake --build --preset ninja-multi-vcpkg-release
