Screenshots
These screenshots are from rusty-shooter which is a big demo for the engine.





There are many examples covering various aspects of the engine. Also don't hesitate to create an issue if you need help!

- Directional light.
- Point light + shadows.
- Spot light + shadows.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Is rg3d using ECS?
A: No. It is using more classic OOP approach. However, it uses lots of optimizations for efficient
memory management such as generational pools.
Q: Examples running too slow on my PC, FPS is too low, help!
A: At first, make sure you run examples on discrete GPU, not on a built-in of your CPU. Built-in GPUs
are very slow and not suitable for rg3d. Secondly, make sure your discrete GPU is powerful enough to run
modern games at decent frame rate.
