Hyperion Engine

About

Hyperion Engine is a 3D game engine written in C++, rendering on Vulkan.

The goal of Hyperion is to be easy to understand and build games with, while still giving you ample control over the game engine.

Current features include:

• Physically based rendering
• Procedural, paged terrain generation
• Skeletal animation
• Serialization / deserialization system
• Highly multi-threaded with async task system
• Post processing pipeline - SSAO, Screen-space reflections, FXAA, Tonemapping
• Parallax corrected dynamic cubemap rendering
• Voxel Cone Tracing (global illumination and reflections)
• Contact hardened softened shadows
• Scene graph + octree
• Scripting engine (Hypscript)
• Ray tracing - DDGI implementation in development

Feel free to contribute anything - We'd love to have some more eyes on this project! Submit an issue if you run into anything, as well.

Building

This section will be updated soon. Hyperion uses a pretty simple CMake set up, using vcpkg for MSVC on Windows, and a build script (build.sh) for macOS and Linux.

Make sure you install the required packages listed in CMakeLists.txt.
