Vulkan targets high-performance real-time 3D-graphics applications, such as video games and interactive media, and highly parallelized computing.Vulkan is intended to offer higher performance and more efficient CPU and GPU usage compared to the older OpenGL and Direct3D 11 APIs.
Java port of Quake II game engine Java 3D: Java: Yes 3D Cross-platform: BSD: Community-centric project. Used by many schools as part of course work Jedi: C: Yes 2.5D DOS, Windows: Star Wars: Dark Forces, Outlaws: Proprietary: Rumored to have been reverse-engineered from Doom engine jMonkeyEngine: Java: 2004 Yes 3D Cross-platform: Grappling Hook ...
The core functionality typically provided by a game engine may include a rendering engine ("renderer") for 2D or 3D graphics, a physics engine or collision detection (and collision response), sound, scripting, animation, artificial intelligence, networking, streaming, memory management, threading, localization support, scene graph, and video ...
ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is an open source, cross-platform graphics engine abstraction layer developed by Google. [1] ANGLE translates OpenGL ES 2/3 calls to DirectX 9, 11, OpenGL or Vulkan API calls.
The release of The Orange Box on multiple platforms allowed for a large code refactoring, which let the Source engine take advantage of multiple CPU cores. [11] However, support on the PC was experimental and unstable [12] until the release of Left 4 Dead. [13] Multiprocessor support was later backported to Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat ...
The ability to write shaders that can be used on any hardware vendor's graphics card that supports the OpenGL Shading Language. Each hardware vendor includes the GLSL compiler in their driver, thus allowing each vendor to create code optimized for their particular graphics card’s architecture.
OpenGL for Embedded Systems (OpenGL ES or GLES) is a subset of the OpenGL computer graphics rendering application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D computer graphics such as those used by video games, typically hardware-accelerated using a graphics processing unit (GPU). It is designed for embedded systems like smartphones ...
Realistic rendering uses mathematical descriptions of how different surface materials reflect light, called reflectance models or (when physically plausible) bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs). [11] Rendering materials such as marble, plant leaves, and human skin requires simulating an effect called subsurface scattering ...
