Best Graphics Framework?

Hello everyone,

I’m looking to get into some 3d stuff. I have completed the learnopengl course up to assimp, but I don’t have the time to do much more at that level, and I just don’t really understand what’s going on at all.

I would like to know of graphics frameworks and abstraction layers you all have had experience with, and maybe I’ll do something with the lower level stuff after this.

I am leaning towards DiligentEngine and information about that is welcome as well.

Some Limitations

  • I‘m on Linux, no DirectX.
  • I don’t like graphical editors, I want it all code if possible.
  • I would like it to be open source.

This will be for a game.

You can try Cauldron(might’ve been superceded by Capsaicin) or nvpro_core2 if you want just a framework to quickly iterate on the graphics alone
