Hephaestus-rs

Hephaestus-rs is a work-in-progress 3D game engine written in Rust using the Vulkano wrapper around the Vulkan Graphics API.

Current Features

• Full render pipeline capable of rendering multiple objects with ambient lighting and multiple directional lights of varying color, intensity, and direction.
• Programmatically generated primitive objects: Planes, Cubes, and Spheres.
• Dynamic loading of custom meshes using the Wavefront (.obj) format.
• The ability to apply textures to objects (just color textures for now).
• A detailed logging system (will be expanded upon once more user interaction with the scene is implemented).
• A debug UI that shows the debug log and a breakdown of the time it takes to render each frame.

Running

1. Install the Rust programming language (see ).
2. Clone the repo with git clone https://github.com/CoBrooks/hephaestus-rs.
3. Run cargo run --release inside of the root directory.

Note: This project was developed on an Arch Linux system with an AMD GPU, thus I cannot guarantee that it will work on other platforms or hardware.

TODO

• Add the ability to move the camera around the scene.
• More lighting: Specular highlights and point lights.
