3D Graphics¶

Doriax provides a complete 3D pipeline with model loading, physically-based rendering, dynamic lighting, and environment effects.

Models¶

Doriax loads 3D models in GLTF and OBJ formats. Import a model as a resource and add it to a scene as an entity, then position it with its transform.

Models support:

• Skeletal animation — animate rigged characters via bones
• Morph targets — blend between mesh shapes for facial animation and deformation

PBR materials¶

Rendering is physically based (PBR), producing realistic surfaces that respond correctly to lighting. Materials drive how light interacts with each surface, supporting photorealistic results.

Materials can use albedo, normal, roughness, metallic, and emission data. Imported GLTF materials are converted into the engine material representation during loading; editor-created materials are serialized with the project and baked into exported output.

Lighting and shadows¶

Doriax supports multiple light types with dynamic shadows, so moving objects cast and receive shadows in real time.

The runtime supports up to six active lights and cascaded shadow maps for directional lighting. Use Scene::setShadowsPCF(true) when you want smoother shadow filtering.

Environment¶

Add atmosphere to your scenes with:

• Fog — depth-based atmospheric fog
• Sky system — a configurable sky for outdoor environments

Cameras¶

Cameras define the viewpoint into a 3D scene. Position and orient a camera entity, and set it as the scene's active camera to control what the player sees.

Cameras can be perspective, orthographic, or UI cameras. A scene owns an active camera entity; editor scene cameras are separate from game cameras so you can navigate while preserving the player's view.

Additional features¶

The runtime also supports particle systems, terrain with level-of-detail (LOD), and mesh instancing for efficiently rendering many copies of the same geometry.
