Renthyl is a modular, code-first, and completely customizable rendering pipeline for JMonkeyEngine suitable for any game. It is designed to be as fast as possible by culling unnecessary render operations and minimizing resource creation.

Renthyl is currently in alpha status: there may be bugs. If one is encountered, please open an issue with stacktraces, example code, and screenshots if applicable. Also note that many features within the RenthylPlus subproject are work-in-progress.

1. Add Renthyl to your Gradle build script. Renthyl depends on Java 8 and JMonkeyEngine 3.8 minimum, along with some other libraries.

repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://jitpack.io"
    }
}
dependencies {
    implementation "com.github.codex128:RenthylCore:v1.2.5-alpha"
    implementation "com.github.codex128:RenthylCore:v1.2.5-alpha:sources"
    implementation "com.github.codex128:RenthylCore:v1.2.5-alpha:javadoc"
}

2. Initialize Renthyl in your JMonkeyEngine application.

Renthyl.initialize(application);

3. Create a FrameGraph and add it to the main ViewPort.

FrameGraph fg = Renthyl.forward(assetManager);
viewPort.setPipeline(fg);
