                                                                            Rendering Engine

This is a rendering and scene management engine that is implemented in C++ using DirectX. On the scene management side of this engine, I have added support to prevent loading multiple copies of the same texture in a scene. Whenever multiple copies of the same mesh are loaded  into the scene, the redundant copies are automatically loaded as instanced copies that have pointers to the single copy with the original mesh data.

Other Features: 

• Hierarchical Scene Partitioning support using K-d tree.
• Supports two modes of scene rendering,

i)                    Managed Mode: Batch Rendering across mesh boundaries at scene level, eliminating redundant Mesh and texture data.

ii)                   Non-Managed Mode: Scene level rendering is disabled and each mesh manages its own rendering.

• Support for object instancing.
• Optimized implementation of frustum culling, takes into consideration, the spatial coherence of frustum position between adjacent frames.
• K-d Tree supports intersection queries against both Rays and AABBs in the scene.

A Sample Scene with K-d Tree node & Bounding Box rendered.                             The same Scene without the Tree Nodes and the Bounding Box.
