a work-in-progress 3D renderer built on top of wgpu
It primarily targets web browsers via WebGL2, with VR and AR support via WebXR. It also has some basic support for compiling to a native binary.
There are 2 main components:
renderer-corewhich contains code for rendering pipeline creation and asset loadingsuperconductoritself which contains a number of Bevy ECS systems for asset loading and rendering inside a rendering loop
Superconductor is limited in scope to rendering 3D GLTF models. The main goal is to render a large variety of 3D models quickly with low overhead. It contains support for:
- Loading both GLTF and GLB 3D models
- Image-based lighting via cubemaps
- Rendering both PBR and unlit GLTF models
- A limited degree of support for animated models
It has a few limitations in order to ensure performance:
- No custom shader support. Superconductor tries to use a über-shader model where a few large shaders are used to render all models, instead of many specialised shaders
- No capabilities for 2D rendering
- No support for models that use vertex-colours.
