Edit 3D scenes and run Lua scripts with this compact, high-performance engine built in C++. It leverages DirectX 12 and Vulkan for cutting-edge rendering, including hardware ray tracing, while handling GLTF 2.0, OBJ, and VRM files for physically based models and characters. As a single executable on PC, it skips installation and works offline, bundling sample assets and scripts in the Content folder.
Game development pros and educators tap into its open-source core under MIT license, keeping all creations fully owned. Lua scripting fires up dynamically at runtime for quick experiments. Source code for C++ work sits on GitHub, while this package streamlines scene editing and script execution.
