Zenith.NET

A modern, cross-platform graphics and compute library for .NET. It provides a unified GPU programming interface to simplify rendering and general-purpose compute workflows.

Status: Work in progress (pre-release)

Overview

Zenith.NET targets modern .NET (including .NET 10.0) and integrates with multiple UI frameworks (such as .NET MAUI) to enable portable, high-performance rendering across platforms.

Highlights

  • Unified, backend-agnostic GPU API
  • Multiple graphics backends (DirectX12, Metal, Vulkan)
  • First-class integrations with popular .NET UI frameworks
  • Designed for performance and easy integration
  • Consistent, cross-platform developer experience

Graphics Backends

Zenith.NET supports multiple graphics APIs that cover mainstream rendering technologies, making it easy to choose the right backend for your scenario.

API Feature Level / API Version Supported
DirectX12 12_0 completed
Metal 4.0 planned
Vulkan 1.4 completed

UI Framework Integrations

Zenith.NET supports multiple .NET UI frameworks, and its rendering capabilities can be seamlessly integrated into different types of applications.

Framework CPU Pixel Copy Native GPU Rendering DirectX12 Metal Vulkan
Avalonia supported supported supported supported
MAUI supported supported supported supported
WinForms supported supported supported
WinUI supported supported supported
WinUI (Uno) supported supported supported supported
WPF supported supported supported

Note: "CPU Pixel Copy" and "Native GPU Rendering" are two ways to present frames in a UI view. The former copies pixel data on the CPU; the latter renders directly to the view using the GPU.
