Diligent Engine
A modern cross-platform low-level graphics API abstraction layer and rendering framework for game engines and 3D applications.
What is Diligent Engine?
Diligent Engine is a modern cross-platform low-level graphics library and rendering framework that abstracts over multiple graphics APIs (Direct3D11/12, Vulkan, Metal, OpenGL/GLES, WebGPU). It provides a consistent API for writing rendering code once and deploying it across Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, and the web. The framework solves the complexity of supporting diverse graphics backends while enabling access to cutting-edge GPU features like ray tracing and mesh shaders.
Graphics engineers, game engine developers, and creators of interactive 3D simulations or visualization applications who need a high-performance, cross-platform rendering solution without being locked into a single graphics API.
Developers choose Diligent Engine for its clean abstraction over modern and legacy graphics APIs, allowing them to leverage API-specific optimizations without platform-specific code. Its modular design, extensive feature set, and permissive Apache 2.0 license make it a versatile foundation for both commercial and open-source projects.
