rend3 is an easy-to-use, customizable, and efficient 3D rendering library for Rust built on top of wgpu. It provides a modular ecosystem of crates covering PBR rendering, shadow mapping, skyboxes, tonemapping, glTF loading, and egui integration via a render graph architecture.

Use cases

• render 3d scenes in rust
• build a game renderer on wgpu
• load and view gltf models
• add pbr rendering with shadows and tonemapping to an app
• create a cross-platform 3d viewer with vulkan d3d12 and metal support
• integrate egui with a 3d renderer

When to choose

• you want a higher-level, easy-to-use 3d renderer in rust without writing raw wgpu code
• you need cross-platform gpu backend support (vulkan, d3d12, metal)
• you want a customizable render graph with ready-made pbr routines
• you are building a rust game or 3d tool with gltf assets

When to avoid

• you need a full game engine with physics, audio, and scripting
• you require long-term guaranteed maintenance, as the project is in maintenance mode
• you need cutting-edge rendering features under active development
• you target webassembly or mobile as a primary platform without verifying support
