Overview

Zenith.NET provides one C# API for graphics and compute across DirectX 12, Metal 4, and Vulkan 1.4. It gives applications explicit control over GPU resources, pipelines, command recording, synchronization, and presentation.

Build rasterization and compute workloads, access shader resources through bindless handles, and coordinate GPU work through queues, barriers, and timelines. Inline ray tracing and mesh shading are available through the same API when the device exposes the corresponding capabilities.

Getting Started

In a .NET 10 project, install the core package and the backend you want to use. For Vulkan:

dotnet add package Zenith.NET
dotnet add package Zenith.NET.Vulkan

Create a graphics context:

using Zenith.NET;
using Zenith.NET.Vulkan;

using GraphicsContext context = GraphicsContext.CreateVulkan(useValidationLayer: true);

Follow Project Setup to configure a complete application, then continue with Hello Triangle for the first rendering workload.
