r3d

R3D - 3D Rendering Library for raylib

R3D is a modern 3D rendering library for raylib that provides advanced lighting, shadows, materials, and post-processing effects without the complexity of building a full engine from scratch.

---

[!WARNING] It is recommended to use the pre-release tags. While you can use the master branch, unexpected API breaking changes may occur until the first official release is published.

Key Features

• Hybrid Renderer: Automatic (or manual) deferred/forward rendering
• Advanced Materials: Complete PBR material system (Burley/SchlickGGX)
• Dynamic Lighting: Directional, spot, and omni lights with soft shadows
• Post-Processing: SSAO, SSR, DoF, bloom, fog, tonemapping, and more
• Model Loading: Assimp integration with animations and mesh generation
• Performance: Built-in frustum culling, instanced rendering, and more

Installation

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Bigfoot71/r3d
cd r3d
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

Requirements: raylib 5.5+, Assimp, Python 3.6+, OpenGL 3.3+

Quick Start

#include <r3d/r3d.h>
#include <raymath.h>

int main(void)
{
    InitWindow(800, 600, "R3D Example");
    SetTargetFPS(60);

    R3D_Init(800, 600, 0);

    // Create scene objects
    R3D_Mesh mesh = R3D_GenMeshSphere(1.0f, 16, 32);
    R3D_Material material = R3D_GetDefaultMaterial();

    // Setup lighting
    R3D_Light light = R3D_CreateLight(R3D_LIGHT_DIR);
    R3D_SetLightDirection(light, (Vector3){-1, -1, -1});
    R3D_SetLightActive(light, true);

    // Camera setup
    Camera3D camera = {
        .position = {3, 3, 3},
        .target = {0, 0, 0},
        .up = {0, 1, 0},
        .fovy = 60.0f,
        .projection = CAMERA_PERSPECTIVE
    };

    // Main loop
    while (!WindowShouldClose()) {
        UpdateCamera(&camera, CAMERA_ORBITAL);
        BeginDrawing();
        R3D_Begin(camera);
        R3D_DrawMesh(&mesh, &material, MatrixIdentity());
        R3D_End();
        EndDrawing();
    }

    R3D_UnloadMesh(&mesh);
    R3D_Close();
    CloseWindow();
    return 0;
}
