D3D12 Renderer

No better way to learn a new graphics API than to use it!

Yep, that’s the Qt text editor example hosting a D3D12 renderer.

Not a lot to say about this one really - my first real foray into D3D12 after having used D3D11 and OpenGL before that. Part of a greater vision - as always - this basically ended up being a tiny little D3D12 renderer with physically based material rendering (you gotta have it!) and sunlight shadows (single cascade). I also ended up playing with an out-of-process editor using Qt instead of my beloved dear imgui with communication being done over web sockets.

A more proper UI in Qt, running in a separate process to the renderer.

Also my first time dealing with GLTF model / scene files - I used a custom binary format for models but wrote an importing pipeline for GLTF this time to see how it is. I am yet undecided how much I like the format, I have a few issues with it but it’s fine as an exchange format I guess.
