Rendering Engine is a modular, cross-platform graphics engine designed for creating applications such as video games, HMI (Human–Machine Interface) applications, simulators, visualisation and rendering tools.

The engine is provided as a library and a set of supporting tools, enabling application creation, configuration, packaging, and engine-level extension.

Supported Platforms

Development platforms:

Windows
FreeBSD
Linux

Target platforms:

Windows
FreeBSD
Linux

Note: Cross-compilation is not yet supported.

Typical Workflow

The typical workflow when working with the Rendering Engine consists of the following steps:

1. Project Creation

Create a new project using the provided project creation tools and templates.
See: Project Creation Guide

2. Application Configuration

Configure your application settings, such as screen size and other runtime parameters.
See: Application Config Guide

3. Application Development

Implement your application logic by:

deriving from renderable base classes (for example, Drawable2D and Drawable3D) to create visual elements
defining application flow and behaviour by deriving from Scene, where you implement: object lifecycles, level logic, transitions between scenes, etc. See: Classes for full API documentation.

4. Project Packaging

Package your application for distribution, for example:

uploading to platforms like Steam deploying to embedded or HMI environments distributing standalone builds See: Project Packaging Guide

Working Modes

The workflow described above is supported in two modes:

SDK User Mode

Use this mode if you want to:

quickly create applications using a precompiled SDK
focus on application development rather than engine internals

See: Downloads

Developer Mode

Use this mode if you:

need deeper control over engine features
plan to modify or extend the engine itself
contribute to engine development

In this mode, you:

work directly from the engine source tree
build the engine and tools locally
develop applications and engine features side-by-side
