# Verus Engine ## What is Verus Engine? Verus Engine is a modern, platform-agnostic 3D game engine. It is developed using **C++** and **HLSL**. It is based on **Vulkan** and **Direct3D 12** graphics APIs. The code is user friendly and well optimized. The engine is intended to be a full-featured solution for making games. It includes modules to handle input, audio, networking and other things. Hence there is no need to search for third-party libraries or write custom code. ## Supported systems * **Windows 10**, 8.1, 8, 7 *(via Vulkan and Direct3D 11 renderers)* * **64-bit only**, 32-bit is not supported ## Supported graphics libraries * Vulkan 1.1 * Direct3D 11 *(Shader Model 5.0)* * Direct3D 12 *(Shader Model 5.1)* ## Features * Native cross-platform code * Same HLSL shader code for all APIs * Deferred shading * PBR/GGX with Metallic-Roughness workflow * Efficient textures and streaming * Large terrain support * Built-in audio system * Multiplayer support * Custom user interface module * Collision and physics support * A bunch of post-processing effects * Filesystem abstraction * Other things ## VerusEdit VerusEdit is an official editor for Verus Engine.
