A Forward Plus Renderer using my own graphics framework 'Swift'.

SwiftFPR (Forward Plus Renderer)

Overview

SwiftFPR is an exemplary implementation demonstrating the utilization of the Swift graphics library for developing a Forward Plus Renderer (FPR). Built on top of Swift, it showcases the efficiency and speed achievable through Vulkan-based rendering techniques.

Purpose

The primary aim of SwiftFPR is to exhibit the capabilities of Swift in facilitating the development of high-performance rendering engines, specifically in the context of Forward Plus Rendering. By leveraging Swift's Vulkan abstractions and modular design, SwiftFPR demonstrates how to efficiently implement rendering pipelines for real-time graphics applications.

Features

• Forward Plus Rendering: SwiftFPR showcases a Forward Plus Rendering technique, known for its ability to efficiently handle large numbers of lights in complex scenes.

• Integration with Swift: Demonstrates seamless integration with the Swift graphics library, utilizing its Vulkan abstractions and event system to simplify the rendering process.

• Performance Benchmarking: Provides performance benchmarks to showcase the speed and efficiency achieved through the SwiftFPR implementation.

Getting Started

To experience SwiftFPR in action, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository: Begin by cloning the SwiftFPR repository into your local development environment.

2. Build and Configure: Configure SwiftFPR according to your system specifications. Ensure that Swift is properly integrated into the project build system.

3. Run the Example: Execute the SwiftFPR example to observe the Forward Plus Rendering technique in action. Pay attention to the performance benchmarks to gauge the efficiency of the implementation.

4. Customization and Extension: Explore the SwiftFPR source code to understand how the Forward Plus Renderer is implemented. Customize and extend the codebase to suit your specific rendering requirements.
