Top 23 C++ DirectX Projects

  • GitHub repo bgfx

    Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.

    Project mention: BGFX DirectX11 "Failed to create vertex shader" over Windows 10x64, but works fine under Win7x86 with d3d9. | reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming | 2021-11-22

    You'll probably have more luck here: https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx/discussions

  • GitHub repo renderdoc

    RenderDoc is a stand-alone graphics debugging tool.

    Project mention: Renderdoc's GPU Selection on a laptop | reddit.com/r/vulkan | 2021-04-19

    Renderdoc works by inserting itself as a Vulkan layer, which means it can change the output of functions if it so chooses. As you can see in the RenderDoc version of vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices it changes how devices are returned, and this likely is the reason the order changes.

  • Nanos

    Run Linux Software Faster and Safer than Linux with Unikernels.

  • GitHub repo The-Forge

    The Forge Cross-Platform Rendering Framework PC Windows, Linux, Ray Tracing, macOS / iOS, Android, XBOX, PS4, PS5, Switch, Quest 2

    Project mention: Why do they make their own engine? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-11-25

    Woah, apparently they used an open source rendering framework called The-Forge. I wonder if they switched their scripting tech (I think they used to have a proprietary language, but TheForge provides lua scripting).

  • GitHub repo Ogre 3D

    scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine (C++, Python, C#, Java)

    Project mention: Ogre 13.0.0 released! Open Source game engine. | reddit.com/r/linux_gaming | 2021-08-14

    Improved version of the X-Ray Engine, the game engine used in the world-famous S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series by GSC Game World. Join OpenXRay! ;)

    Project mention: If software (OpenXRay-engine in this case) has a BSD-style license, does that automatically mean I can make derivative works (eg a new game, unrelated to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) and sell them? | reddit.com/r/foss | 2021-11-28

  • GitHub repo DirectXTex

    DirectXTex texture processing library

    Project mention: Does Anyone Know a Tool That Can Mass Compress/Resize DDS Files? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-10-12

    I know only Nvidia texture tools exporter but it's not in masse sorry My suggestion is to create a python script that uses texconv.exe for every file in a directory, pretty easy to get

  • Scout APM

    For graphics DX math is a very good library.
