## INOX
It's a Game Engine written in _**Rust**_ with some bindings for external libs and with _**Blender**_ as editor.
INOX is a game engine written in _**Rust**_ and developed by [GENTS](https://twitter.com/gents83).
The main idea behind INOX is to use [Blender](https://www.blender.org/) as external editor, even being able to create visual logic scripting nodes in it, and then have a button to launch the _**Rust**_ engine, that should be scalable to create games of any scale and for users with every kind of experience.
_**Rust**_ will give to INOX high performance, reliability and safe code, while _**Blender**_ will bring easy customization and powerful editor capabilities.
## Why INOX?
Well... because even if made in _Rust_ it should become an inoxidable game development engine :)
## Vision
The engine is developed with following pillars:
- The game engine should be obviously written in _**Rust**_
- The engine should support multiple platforms (PC, Mobile, Sony Playstation, Microsoft XBox, Nintendo Switch, etc)
- The rendering engine should support different GFX API as well (like Vulkan, DirectX, Metal, etc)
- The engine should be multi-threaded both on CPU and GPU to reach high-end performances
- The engine should support streaming, quick background loading and hot-reload of Code and Data
- _**Blender**_ should be used as external 3D scene, Material, Animation and other content edition
- INOX should generate a _**Blender**_ addon that could be installed in order to launch and communicate with it
- _**Blender**_ should be used as external editor with new custom INOX editors (like Logic Node Visual Scripting, etc)
- From _**Blender**_ the user should be able to see the same scene rendered in INOX just pressing a button
- INOX Engine could be used just as a high quality rendering engine
- INOX Engine could be used to run game logic
## Documentation
You can find documentation [here](https://gents83.github.io/INOX/)
## Notes
Not ready yet for production.
INOX is in active development, it still lacks many features code architecture or interfaces could still change.
New releases could still have breaking changes.
## Hotkeys
Useful hotkeys to know:
- in **_Blender_**:
- F5: Launch Game Engine with current scene or you can use the panel inside Render properties
- in **_INOX_**:
- F1: Open\Close Info window
- F2: Open\Close Hierarchy window
- F9: Start\Stop Profiler and generate profile file on stop
