A pure Rust game engine using vulkano to safely interact with graphics hardware through the Vulkan API.
Because the engine is in active development, it is recommended to build the example from source (see instructions below). The release packages may be significantly behind the current state of the engine, and may not even run on some platforms, as the build automation scripts have not been extensively tested. If you wish to download a release, do the following:
- Download the appropriate example for your platform from the releases page.
- Unzip the folder and run the binary inside to view the example.
The example should display a simple scene containing a high-poly version of the Blender monkey mesh (her name is Suzanne), an icosphere, a cube, and a ground plane, all lit by one point light.
The scene provides very rudimentary controls, with the W, A, S, and D keys controlling directional movement along the scene's x and z basis vectors (not along the camera's forward axis), and the mouse controlling rotation of the camera when RMB is held. The arrow keys can also be used to move the point light along the same directions as the camera.
This example will continue to develop as more features are added to the engine.
Requires a working Rust installation with cargo.
Clone the repository, recursing over submodules.
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/JMicheli/MD-Render.git
Navigate into the directory and run the basic example with cargo. This will cause cargo to download the dependencies and build the project.
cargo run --example basic
