Pulsar Documentation

Helio Renderer

Production-grade, data-driven, physically-based real-time renderer built on wgpu — with a modular render graph, GPU-driven scene, and high-performance instancing

Render Passes

An overview of every pass crate in Helio's default render graph — what each one does, which resources it reads and writes, and how to compose or replace them.

Scene API

Complete reference for Helio's Scene API — the data model that owns all renderable content and drives the GPU-resident instance buffer
