🌘 Albedo 🌒

Rust framework dedicated to real-time visualization.

Disclaimer

This library is far from dead, but continued closed source for the time being. I will update as soon on possible on the future of this!

🚧 Albedo is a work-in-progress and might be unstable, use it at your own risks 🚧

Goals

• Lightweight
• Easy to use
• Fast
• Oriented for real-time visualization
• As close as wgpu as possible for integration

Albedo isn't a game engine. It's designed to be a rendering framework made for real-time visualization. It's possible to use as the rendering module for a game, but that's not the use case why it was designed.

Features

GPU Raytracing

The albedo_rtx exposes GPU software Raytracing. You can use this crate to perform Ray-Triangle intersections.

• CWBVH from tinybvh-rs
• SVGF (Semi-working for now)

Lightmapper

The library comes with the albedo_lightmapper_native crate used to generate lightmaps for a mesh.

For now, the lightmapper only generate an ambient occlusion map, but it will soon generate RGB lightmaps.

Examples

GPU Picking

While picking is doable using a rasterized G-Buffer of IDs, this example shows how it can be done using the raytracing crate.
