korender

Kotlin Multiplatform 3D graphics rendering engine based on OpenGL / OpenGL ES.

Korender uses declarative approach that seamlessly integrates 3D viewport into Compose Multiplatform UI. Same Korender code runs on all supported platforms.

@Composable
fun App() = Korender {
  Frame {
    Camera(DefaultCamera(Vec3(0f, 5f, 30f), -1.z, 1.y))
    Pass {
      Sky(sky(FastCloud))
      Renderable(standart(FixedColor) { color = Green }, mesh = sphere(2f), transform = translate(-0.5f.y))
    }
    Pass {
      Screen(effect(Water), sky(FastCloud))
      Billboard(effect(Fire) { yscale = 10f; xscale = 2f }, position = 6.y, transparent = true)
      Gui {
        Filler()
        Text(text = "FPS ${frameInfo.avgFps}", height = 50,  color = Red, font = "/ubuntu.ttf", id = "fps")
      }
    }
  }
}
