Castor3D

Castor3D is a 3D engine written in C++ 14. It works on Windows and also on GNU/Linux. It uses OpenGL (with GLSL). It is still a work in progress, feel free to contribute!

Features

• Deferred rendering.
• Normal mapping.
• Parallax Occlusion mapping.
• Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (using Scalable Ambiant Obscurance implementation).
• Shadow Mapping (using Variance Shadow Maps).
• Reflection/Refraction Mapping.
• PBR rendering (Metallic and Specular workflows), and Legacy rendering.
• HDR rendering with various tone mapping operators.
• Screen Space Subsurface Scattering (without backlit transmittance yet).
• Scene graph.
• Modular architecture through plug-ins.
• Shaders are generated automatically from material and pass configuration.
• Shaders are writable directly from C++ code.

General Questions

1. I need a feature that Castor3D do not implement, what should I do ? There are two ways. First, Castor3D is a free software and library, so you are welcome to improve it yourself ;-) ! Second, just ask the author :-) !

2. I implemented a cool feature, can I commit it ? Obviously you are welcome to send the author any improvement. But obviously the author is quite careful with readability, correctness and stability, and will read and check any contribution before including it. Thus, it can take time... There are few basic rules to write contributions:

3. Do never change the indentation of any part of the code that's not yours.

4. Do never send codes without a lot of comments in (bad or good) English.

5. Do never send codes with obscure and/or non-English variable names.

6. How can I ask the author ? Just send a mail to [email protected] !
