VSC – An open source 3D Rendering Engine in C++
Been making this rasterizer engine in C++ for the past few months, now also adding ray-tracing functionality to the system. Simply load a model or generate a mesh, add some lights, and render.
VSC – An open source 3D Rendering Engine in C++ launched on March 12, 2025 with 101 votes, #425 of 7,215 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
VSC is an open source 3D rendering engine built in C++. It supports both rasterization and ray-tracing, allowing users to load or generate 3D models, add lighting, and render scenes. The engine is designed for developers who need a customizable graphics rendering solution and is available on GitHub.

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
