DiligentCore is a low-level, cross-platform rendering library designed to provide a modern graphics abstraction layer over Direct3D11, Direct3D12, OpenGL, Vulkan, and Metal. It’s aimed at developers building high-performance rendering engines and scientific visualization tools. DiligentCore gives precise control over GPU resources and rendering pipelines, while also abstracting away platform-specific boilerplate. The library is modular, extensible, and well-suited for projects that require direct access to modern graphics APIs while maintaining portability and scalability.

Features

  • Unified rendering abstraction for D3D11, D3D12, OpenGL, Vulkan, and Metal
  • Cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android
  • Modern graphics pipeline with explicit resource management
  • Shader and pipeline state abstraction with reflection support
  • Support for compute shaders and general-purpose GPU tasks
  • Modular architecture for custom extensions and backends
  • Includes sample apps and engine integration examples
  • Tools for resource binding, synchronization, and layout management
  • Designed for performance-critical and low-level graphics work
