Incenerate - Vulkan based renderer - DEPRECATED new version here(https://github.com/AdamFull/Incenerate-Engine/tree/main)
I started this project for improve my skills in c++ and graphics technologies. I working in game development, but my duties do not include work with graphics in low level. In this project i developing render system based on OpenGL and Vulkan API. I don't think that i can call it as "engine", because it includes only graphics rendering. In future i'll add more features, and this "engine" will become to GLTF scene editor/renderer. "Engine" support only one mesh format(GLTF), and three formats for textures(KTX, KTX2(basisu), DDS).
