- Rendering Engine
- Support for Multiple Graphics APIs : OpenGL | Vulkan | DirectX12 | DirectX11 | Metal
- Content Export Pipeline : Create Maya/Max Plugins to export meshes based on Renderers needs. (Assimp Commercial Licence -> Pay)
- Texture Compression Libraries
- Material System : Artists Configure shaders, textures, parameters to import in game
- Game-side Manager of Models/Materials/Lights
- Good Visibility System (Frustum/Occlusion) (VisibilityBuffers?)
- Multi-Threded Submission System to reduce cost of submission to GPU
- Lighting/Shadow Rendering System
