Vulkan Level Renderer
A downloadable Graphics Project for Windows
This Level Renderer is a solo project I created using the Vulkan graphics API. This project was created during my time at university, it took 1 month (December 2021) to complete.
This project is a Vulkan-based level renderer for 3D game environments modeled in Blender. I used a Python script to export level data (like object matrices) from Blender into .txt files, then parsed and rendered that data in C++ using Vulkan. The renderer places objects with accurate positions, colors, and materials, using a blend of Data-Oriented and Object-Oriented Programming.
