Arcane-Engine
Arcane Engine is a real-time, physically based renderer built with OpenGL. A large focus of this project is to implement modern real-time graphical effects, while also making it easy to read and understand. Arcane supports forward and deferred rendering, by using the benefits of each to its advantage.

Development
If you want to see what I am currently working on check out Arcane's roadmap:
I plan on adding many different features to the forward & deferred renderers. Here are some of the few things I am really looking forward to adding:
- Vulkan Support
- Decals
- Particles
- SSR
- Volumetric Effects
- Reverse Z Buffer
- Virtual Texture System (Terrain)
