  (Vulkan backend planned next)
• Buffers: VBO, IBO, FBO, RBO, UBO, SSBO
• Blinn–Phong lighting model
• HDRI skybox support
• Event system (allowing custom events)

Building

Tested with CMake 3.20 and MSVC 19.44.35207.1 in CLion 2025 and Visual Studio 2022

• Download required libraries with vcpkg
• Add vcpkg toolchain to CMake profile settings
• Build

Usage

Example project can be found in Sandbox folder.

User-loaded assets must be placed in the correct folders (relative path then can be used see Sandbox example):

• assets/textures/ → Textures, skyboxes
• assets/shaders/ → GLSL shaders
• assets/models/ → 3D models

When a model is loaded for the first time, Kita will:

1. Bake it into its internal KAsset format (.kasset) (Skipping Assimp loading next time)
2. Copy the model textures into assets/textures/
