EndDraw

EndDraw is a software framework designed to support end-to-end rendering workflows for 2D and 3D graphics. The term reflects a focus on the complete pipeline, from input data and scene representation to final image output, within a single modular system. EndDraw is described as open-source and cross-platform, aiming to provide cohesive tooling for developers and content creators.

Core components of EndDraw include a scene graph for organizing objects and transformations, a rendering engine capable of real-time rasterization as well as offline rendering paths, and a post-processing and compositing stage. An integrated I/O layer supports reading common formats such as glTF, OBJ, and SVG, while export capabilities cover image and document formats like PNG, JPEG, PDF, and SVG. The framework is designed to be format- and backend-agnostic, offering plug-in support for multiple shading languages and rendering backends, including GPU and CPU pipelines.

The typical EndDraw workflow involves loading scene data, constructing the scene graph, choosing a suitable renderer backend, performing rendering passes, applying post-processing effects, and exporting the result to a target format. The end-to-end approach aims to provide reproducible results and easier integration with other tools used in content creation, visualization, or teaching.

Architecture is described as modular and decoupled, with a clear separation between data models (primitives and materials), render backends, shader systems, and post-processing chains. This structure supports extensibility through plugins and scripting interfaces, enabling customization and experimentation across different applications.

Applications commonly cited for EndDraw include game development, architectural and scientific visualization, and educational use. The project emphasizes accessibility, with language bindings and potential web-based builds planned to broaden reach.
