Silk.NET VS OpenTK

A couple other options than what has been suggested so far: - TerraFX.Interop.Windows. Raw, blittable, 1:1 bindings for all Win32, D2D/D3D11/D3D12 APIs (there's also a version with Vulkan bindings). As close to doing #include as you can get in C#. This is my personal favorite, I use it in my own ComputeSharp library, and transitively we use it in the Microsoft Store too 🙂 - Silk.NET another version of high-performance bindings, more opinionated than TerraFX and with some additional helpers to make it a bit easier to use.

Here is an example of using "releases" in GitHub: https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET/releases. Most repositories use releases and releases seem like they wpuld be appropriate for your repository too.

I've been looking at this. Is this similar to the UrhoSharp project you talk about? https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET

Have you looked at Silk.NET before?

Take a look at https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET . You should be able to use your existing rendering context with it. So you could use something like imgui (They have bindings for that) to render your UI. Or if you just start writing your rendering code, you could consider writing the whole rendering engine with it. I used it in the past for a game engine and performance is no problem for most of the usecases.

If you want something more ".NET like", check out Silk.NET instead. It's also community maintained and in the .NET Foundation, but does name remappings, friendly API overloads, and other things that make it feel more ".NET like": https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET

Open a new issue on Github. Include all of this, and provide info on your OS and GPU.

For anyone interested in getting into this: https://opentk.net/

OpenTK is probably the most known library for that.

I used OpenTK, an OpenGL framework for C# and hacked together a small app that renders a fullscreen textured quad (in this case OP's image) with a shader I found in this article.

i'd go for OpenTK so you don't have to learn c++ in addition. also one of the most important things is understanding how to communicate with the GPU and for that https://learnopengl.com/ is a great resource. (also creating a 3d engine is not really that much harder than a 2d engine in my opinion)

https://opentk.net/ for OpenGL

But OpenTK can, and you can use it within godot if you add it as a C# library with godot C# https://opentk.net/

https://opentk.net/ or https://www.libsdl.org/ might be for you

Thanks! I'm creating an engine (far from being ready for public use) while developing the game based on OpenTK which is pretty much like GLFW for C# (it is a bit more advanced than that though), so yeah pretty much from scratch.
