Zenith.NET Logo

Zenith.NET

Unified Cross-Platform GPU Programming for .NET

A modern graphics and compute library that provides a single API for DirectX 12, Metal 4, and Vulkan 1.4. 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 4, and Vulkan 1.4.
⚡
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 Vertex and pixel shaders with custom render states.
Compute General-purpose GPU computing for image processing, simulations, and more.
Ray Tracing Hardware-accelerated BLAS/TLAS with RayQuery in any shader stage.
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 4, or Vulkan 1.4).

2

Create Resources

Define buffers, textures, shaders, and pipelines.

3

Record Commands

Build command buffers with draw, compute, or mesh shading dispatches.

4

Submit & Present

Execute on GPU and present to screen or export to textures.
