PrimeEngine

PrimeEngine is a custom C++ engine with Lua scripting. Building on a base engine by Artem Kovalovs, I extended the rendering pipeline, animation system, physics integration, event architecture, and developer tooling.

Frustum Culling

Implemented view frustum culling to prevent off-camera objects from entering the render pipeline. This demo visualizes culling; in stress scenes frustum filtering improved performance from ~30 → 60 FPS.

Animation Blending

Implemented animation blending and weighted state transitions. Demonstrates blending between locomotion states and layered animation channels.

Physics & Collision

Implemented gravity, collision detection, and surface sliding. Collision resolution uses surface normals to enable smooth gliding along geometry.

Occlusion Culling

Implemented an occlusion pass to reduce hidden surface rendering; occlusion produced limited gains in this scene, indicating further optimization is needed.

Targeting & Orientation

Implemented object targeting and orientation references for dynamic rotation toward other entities.

Waypoint Navigation

Implemented waypoint-based navigation allowing entities to travel to specified destinations, either randomly or intentionally.

Lua Event System

Added onto a Lua-driven event system enabling scripted interactions; example shows chained events triggering actions and retreats based on distance.
