RegEngine

Yet another approach to developing a personal 3D graphics engine. Windows + Direct3D 12.

Work in progress... Nothing to see here. Just playing around 😀 Features implemented:

Rendering:

• Direct3D 12 initialization and usage
• Loading 3D models (using Assimp library)
• Basic deferred shading

Other:

• GUI (using Dear ImGui library)
• Configuration loaded from and saved to a file (using RapidJSON library)
