VertexNova Engine

What and Why

VertexNova started as a learning journey in computer graphics and engine architecture. VertexNova is a multi-backend rendering engine that you can use right now to learn, experiment, and build 3D applications. We created VertexNova because we have a real passion for understanding how graphics engines work, and we want to create a clean, educational codebase that demonstrates modern engine design.

Some features and tech:

• Written in modern C++ with support for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Web
• Multi-backend rendering — Unified API across Vulkan, Metal, OpenGL, and WebGL
• Cross-platform — Build once, run everywhere
• Educational focus — Transparent architecture designed for learning
• Clean abstractions — Thin layers with explicit control

Future plans and direction

We have some serious future plans.

Firstly, one of our primary motivations for developing VertexNova is using it as a learning platform and demonstrating modern engine architecture. That means we're dedicated to ensuring that VertexNova is a well-documented, clean codebase capable of teaching graphics programming concepts from the ground up.

We also see VertexNova as a platform for education, experimentation, and real-time applications. We regularly use it for visualization, creating interactive demos, and exploring rendering techniques across different graphics APIs.
