Oryol
A small, portable and extensible C++ 3D coding framework for cross-platform graphics applications.
What is Oryol?
Oryol is a small, portable, and extensible C++ 3D coding framework designed for building cross-platform graphics applications. It enables developers to write once and deploy across multiple platforms, including desktop, mobile, and web, while maintaining minimal executable sizes. The framework abstracts rendering APIs like OpenGL, Metal, and Direct3D, allowing consistent shader code across different backends.
C++ developers creating 3D applications, games, or visualizations that need to run on diverse platforms such as Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and web browsers via WebGL/emscripten.
Developers choose Oryol for its emphasis on simplicity, portability, and small binary sizes, making it ideal for web deployments and resource-constrained environments. Its extensible module system and Orthodox C++ design offer a clean, maintainable alternative to heavier graphics engines.
