Renthyl is a modular FrameGraph-based rendering pipeline designed with efficiency in mind.

⚠️ Warning! ⚠️
Renthyl is still under development and should not be used for production yet. It additionally uses libraries that have not been deployed.

Features

• Allows for the use of modern rendering paradigms, such as deferred and forward++.
• Code-first design makes constructing and manipulating FrameGraphs incredibly easy.
• Easily control the layout of the FrameGraph using game logic.
• Designed to be totally savable, so FrameGraphs can be saved and loaded from files.
• Culling algorithm ensures unnecessary operations are skipped.
• Resource manager minimizes the creation and binding of resources by reallocating resources where possible.
• Allows for stress-free multithreading.
• Tree-like Structure allows individual groups of passes to be exported and shared.

Get Started

1. Download Renthyl (including assets).

2. Download dependencies

   • JMonkeyEngine (experimental branch).
   • Boost (master branch)
   • RenthylPlus (optional, master branch)
   • Java JDK8

3. Initialize Renthyl in your JMonkeyEngine application.

Renthyl.initialize(application);
FrameGraph fg = Renthyl.forward(assetManager);
viewPort.setPipeline(fg);

4. Run the project.
