Kaleido3D

Introduction

Kaleido3D is a cross-platform graphics library, which provides:

  • Next-Gen Graphics API Agnostic Layer (NGFX) for Metal, Vulkan and DX12
  • Multi-Threaded Rendering
  • GLTF as Internal Mesh Format
  • Experimental Real Time Ray-tracing Support (DXR/RTXVK)

NOTE: This project is heavily under development currently.

Requirements

  • Iris Build System
  • Python 2.7 (x64)
  • Visual Studio 2017+
  • iOS Build Environment (Build iOS App on Windows)
  • NDK 14+
  • Xcode 8+

Wiki

See Wikis

Currently, NGFX headers and sources are generated by an C++11-like IDL compiler (inside iris build toolbox)

See the differences of NGFX implementation across graphics backends here.
