I'm happy to announce the release of Castor3D, version 0.12.0

Castor3D is a 3D engine written in C++ 17.
It works on Windows and Linux.
It relies on Vulkan as a rendering API, and uses Ashes to extend this support to Direct3D 11 and OpenGL.

Some of the changes:

• Now using RenderGraph to build a frame graph.
• Now using bindless textures.
• Implemented MultiDrawIndirect.
• Implemented a loading screen.
• Implemented texture animations (tile maps and transforms).
• Implemented scene node animations.
• Added DrawEdges plugin, to detect and draw edges.
• Implemented basic ocean rendering plugin.
• Implemented FFT based ocean rendering plugin.
• Implemented water rendering.
• Implemented toon materials collection.
• Added ACES tone mapping plugin.
• Added HeightMapToNormalMap and fixed normal maps generation.
