Pruneau Renderer is a lightweight 3D renderer written in C++ with the goal of evolving into a full-featured game engine. For now, no stable release is there, the product is still in development.
First of all, I want to thanks all the developers of the librairies used in this project that makes it possible :
- OpenGL Rendering: Core rendering functionality with support for framebuffers.
- Asset Importation : import fbx, glb, gltf, png, jpg, obj, glsl files into the engine by a simple drop !
- GUI: ImGui docking interface and ImGuizmo for manipulations.
- Layer System: Modular layer architecture for scenes, UI, and systems.
- Event System: Centralized event handling for window events and input.
- Framebuffer Support: Custom framebuffer class with color and depth attachments.
Credits to the Blender team for the suzanne model.
For now, editor code and engine code are in the same project. As the editor is only a layer of the executable, I am planning to separate the editor and the engine layer. In the future, the engine will be a lib file and the editor an application.
A wiki is available 👉 here 👈 (still in development too)
