Warp Engine

Drop-in 3D rendering for teams who need the pipeline open, not hidden.

Overview

A lightweight C++17 engine for high-performance 3D graphics, written directly against Vulkan rather than layered over an abstraction. Clean module boundaries — platform, rendering, Vulkan backend, audio, math — so it can be dropped into a project as a CMake subdirectory.

What it does

Modern Vulkan renderer: Core Vulkan abstractions — context, swapchain, command buffers, buffers, images, descriptors — written for the API as it is, not emulating an older one.
2D and 3D in one pipeline: Dedicated sprite and text renderers alongside 3D scene rendering, plus a post-processing pass with tone mapping.
Platform abstraction on SDL3: Cross-platform windowing and raw input, with a high-level input manager for binding actions instead of keycodes.
Tooling built in: Dear ImGui integration for development UIs, so debug tools ship with the engine rather than being bolted on.
Professional audio: Optional FMOD Core integration for playback and mixing.

Worth knowing

Dependencies handled for you

SDL3, GLM, VulkanMemoryAllocator, Dear ImGui and nlohmann/json are fetched by CMake. Add the engine as a subdirectory, link `WarpEngine::WarpEngine`, and build.
