OmegaEngine

Build

OmegaEngine is a general-purpose 3D graphics for .NET Framework and DirectX 9. The engine is designed to be light-weight, modular and gameplay-agnostic. It is designed to be:

  • light-weight (compiled binaries with external libraries < 4MB),
  • modular (use only the parts you need for your project) and
  • gameplay-agnostic (also suitable for visualization projects, etc.).

The complementary OmegaGUI, AlphaFramework and AlphaEditor help you build games using OmegaEngine.

Documentation

Prerequisites

You must install these components before you can use OmegaEngine:

First steps

Create a WinForms project targetting .NET Framework 4.7.2 or newer with the platform set to x86.
Add a reference to the NuGet package OmegaEngine. Then add the following code to render a textured sphere:

var engine = new Engine(this, new EngineConfig { TargetSize = ClientSize });
var scene = new Scene
{
    Positionables = { Model.Sphere(engine, XTexture.Get(engine, "flag.png")) }
};
var view = new View(scene, new TrackCamera()) { BackgroundColor = Color.CornflowerBlue };
engine.Views.Add(view);

Paint += delegate { engine.Render(); };
