Wicked Engine is an open-source C++ 3D game engine with modern graphics features like ray tracing, global illumination, and physically based rendering. It can be used as a C++ framework, a standalone 3D editor, or with Lua scripting, and ships with samples and documentation.

Use cases

• build a 3D game with modern graphics
• learn real-time rendering techniques like ray tracing and global illumination
• edit 3D models in a standalone offline editor
• prototype gameplay quickly with Lua scripting
• create projects with VRM characters from VRoid Studio
• use a C++ graphics framework for rendering experiments

When to choose

• you want a free, MIT-licensed engine with modern rendering features
• you prefer C++ or Lua for graphics/game development
• you need cross-platform support including consoles
• you want to study engine internals and graphics programming

When to avoid

• you need a large asset marketplace or visual scripting ecosystem like Unreal or Unity
• your project is 2D-focused or web-based
• you need extensive third-party plugin support
