Yave

Yet another C++17 Vulkan engine.

Disclaimer

This is a pet/learning project, it's not meant to be a serious engine and should not be used for anything beside playing with Vulkan.

Currently only supports Windows

• With GCC 9+ through MSYS2
• With MSVC 16.9+

Serialization format is compiler dependent!

Status

Currently a mess, should smooth out as I am learning Vulkan.

The project is in its early stages.

Project structure

• y: Core library with a bunch of utility functions and classes
• yave: The engine itself It links only to y and spirv-cross
• editor: A scene editor build on top of yave
• shaders: All the shaders for both the engine and the editor
• external: Third party libraries

Building

• CMake (3.18)
• A C++17 compiler
• Vulkan SDK

Implemented features:

• Buffers

• Descriptor sets
• Basic pipelines
• Compute shaders
• Swapchain
• Framebuffers
• Resources lifetime management
• Framegraph
• Rendering pipeline
  • Tiled deferred shader
    • Physically based lighting
    • IBL
  • Basic scenes
• Meshes
  • Static
  • Skeletal
