Gigi is a framework from Electronic Arts for rapid prototyping and development of real-time rendering techniques, consisting of a visual Editor, a debugging/profiling Viewer, a Compiler that generates C++ DX12, WebGPU, or Unreal Engine code, and a technique Browser. It is Windows-only for authoring and requires a DX12-capable GPU.

Use cases

• prototype real-time rendering techniques visually
• generate DX12 or WebGPU code from a rendering graph
• debug and profile rendering techniques
• export rendering techniques to Unreal Engine
• learn graphics programming with tutorials and a technique library

When to choose

• you want to iterate quickly on real-time graphics techniques without hand-writing boilerplate
• you need to generate production-quality C++ DX12, WebGPU, or Unreal code from a visual graph
• you are a graphics researcher, student, or hobbyist exploring rendering ideas on Windows

When to avoid

• you need a Linux or macOS authoring environment
• your project targets OpenGL, Vulkan, or Metal directly
• you need fully mature, bug-free tooling - Gigi is young software with missing features
