Vertex.NET.Impeller is a lightweight, minimal C# wrapper for the Impeller rendering library, providing a thin, 1:1 binding to Impeller's C API. It is designed for developers who require direct, low-level access to Impeller's high-performance 2D/3D rendering capabilities from .NET, without any added abstraction or overhead.

🚀 Features

• Modern-Targeting – Supports .NET 8, .NET 9 and .NET 10.
• Minimal & Transparent – A direct 1:1 mapping to Impeller's C functions, preserving the original API semantics.
• Cross-Platform – Runs on all platforms supported by Impeller, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
• Pre-Built Native Binaries – The NuGet package includes ready-to-use native libraries, eliminating the need for manual Impeller installation.
• Performance-Oriented – Zero overhead and minimal marshaling, making it suitable for real-time graphics applications.
• Version – Built against Impeller commit 9d83c362f88e3575fe277e2ba3f1a83ddc7d1597 to ensure ABI compatibility.
