This project is a Vulkan engine I made over a month to gain a deeper understanding of the Vulkan API. It’s still in development and will be heavily improved with the addition of more planned features, such as the integration of multiple graphics APIs, a level editor, bindless rendering, etc. The goal is for this to become a general 3D engine I use for my future games. Checkout Bubble Blaster which is a game I made using this engine for a 2 day game jam.

• Engineered a high-performance 3D renderer in C++ using Vulkan, designed to scale with an Entity Component System framework, automating a lot of the Vulkan code.
  

​

• Developed an advanced lighting system supporting directional, spot, and point lights, implementing Phong and Physically Based Rendering for realistic lighting.
  

​

•  Developed and optimized skeletal animation calculations, achieving 0.008 nanoseconds – 0.01 microseconds per frame per model, enhancing performance and efficiency
  

​

• Implemented multi-material support, integrating diffuse/albedo, normal, roughness, metallic, ambient occlusion, specular, and emissive maps, with dynamic texture mipmapping for optimization.
  

• Optimized rendering performance with frustum culling, reducing overhead by excluding out of view objects and bypassing unnecessary animation bone transform calculations.
