Zenith.NET
Unified Cross-Platform GPU Programming for .NET
A modern graphics and compute library that provides a single API for DirectX 12, Metal, and Vulkan. Build high-performance rendering and GPU compute applications with ease.
Why Zenith.NET?
Unified API — Write once, run everywhere. A single API abstracts DirectX 12, Metal, and Vulkan.
High Performance — Direct access to ray tracing, mesh shading, and compute pipelines.
Framework Integration — Works with Avalonia, MAUI, WinForms, WinUI, WPF, and Uno Platform.
Modern .NET — Built for .NET 10.0+ with nullable types, spans, and the latest C# features.
GPU Features at a Glance
Graphics Pipeline
Vertex, hull, domain, geometry, and pixel shaders with custom render states.
Compute Pipeline
General-purpose GPU computing for image processing, simulations, and more.
Ray Tracing
Hardware-accelerated BLAS/TLAS, hit groups, and inline ray queries.
Mesh Shading
GPU-driven geometry with mesh and amplification shaders for meshlet processing.
How It Works
1
Initialize
Create a graphics context with your preferred backend (DirectX 12, Metal, or Vulkan).
2
Create Resources
Define buffers, textures, shaders, and pipelines.
3
Record Commands
Build command buffers with draw, compute, or ray tracing calls.
4
Submit & Present
Execute on GPU and present to screen or export to textures.
