Crystal API

Crystal API is a sub-high level graphics wrapper for graphics API. Currently in WIP stage, but usable for now.

Features:

• Vulkan API support
• Synchronized in-frame and out-of-frame compute operations
• Direct buffer access (no staging in buffer operations)
• Multithreaded access to resource
• Unified app architecture

Long-term goals

• Adding non-present Crystal API entry (for compute operations only)
• Adding Metal API support
• Adding DirectX support

Short-term goals

• Adding raytracing support
