B3D Framework (formerly Banshee 3D) is a modern C++17 library providing a foundation for high-performance game engines and real-time graphical applications. It features a scalable ECS, fiber-based task scheduling, a hybrid tiled deferred/clustered forward Vulkan renderer, and integrated UI, scripting, physics, animation, and audio systems.

Use cases

• build a custom game engine on a proven foundation
• develop 3D games with a modern C++ framework
• create real-time graphical applications and simulations
• render large open-world scenes with high performance
• prototype games with built-in physics, animation, and scripting
• learn engine architecture from a modular, documented codebase

When to choose

• you need a high-performance C++ foundation for a custom engine or real-time 3D app
• you want a modern Vulkan-based renderer with PBR and clustered/deferred rendering
• you value clean, modular, well-documented architecture you can extend
• you need an ECS that scales to massive object counts

When to avoid

• you need a finished, polished game engine with a complete editor today
• you require macOS, Linux, or console support that is still in development
• you want Direct3D 12 or Metal backends, which are not yet available
• you need advanced features like global illumination, LODs, or networking that are still on the roadmap
