Welcome to VertexNova Engine - a modern, multi-platform rendering and visualization engine designed for clarity, portability, and steady evolution.

What is VertexNova?​

VertexNova Engine (VNE) is a personal learning project focused on building a clean, maintainable multi-backend rendering engine. The project provides:

  • Multi-backend rendering - Unified API across OpenGL Desktop, OpenGL ES/WebGL, Metal, and Vulkan (WIP)
  • Cross-platform support - macOS, iOS, Windows, Linux, and Web (Emscripten)
  • Modern C++ design - Clean architecture with strict ownership and predictable lifetimes
  • Thin abstractions - Clear layering with explicit control

Why VertexNova?​

This project started as a learning journey in computer graphics and engine architecture. After working on 3D visualization projects professionally, I wanted to build my own engine from the ground up, learning from excellent references like:

Current Status​

  • Simple demos run on macOS, iOS, OpenGL desktop, and Web (Emscripten/WebGL)
  • Vulkan backend is in progress
  • More demos and tests are being added to cover concepts thoroughly

What's Next?​

Check out the Getting Started guide to begin learning with VertexNova, or explore the Demos to see what's currently working.

The project is open source and available on GitHub. Contributions, feedback, and questions are welcome!
