AN INDEPENDENT ENGINE BY PTEROSOFT STUDIO
Your world.
In real time.
From the first light to the final build. A DirectX 12 game engine with visual scripting, a native editor, and the tools to bring your world to life.

Step inside
the scene.
Watch the engine showcase, then explore two new captures of a candlelit Egyptian interior, from carved stone surfaces to pools of warm light.
01 / THE ENGINE
More of your game.
Within reach.
A connected set of tools for building scenes, shaping behavior, and turning a working project into a standalone game.
Connect the behavior.
Build gameplay in the Node Graph with events, variables, functions, and flow control. Drive characters, cameras, UI, audio, and video through visual connections.
Visual scripting · C++ game moduleSet the atmosphere.
Shape terrain, scatter vegetation, and add water. Bring scenes to life with time of day, volumetric clouds, fog, wind, and rain.
Terrain tools · Vegetation · Dynamic skiesGive the scene energy.
Author reusable particle effects in a dedicated editor. Tune emitters, flipbook animation, blending, and scene lighting, then place the same effect across your level.
Particle editor · Reusable effect assetsMake every moment count.
Build game interfaces with RmlUi, connect spatial audio through FMOD Studio, and play WebM video with sound. Inspect UI documents and trace their events in the editor.
RmlUi · FMOD Studio · Video playbackTake it beyond the editor.
Package your project into a Windows game with a named executable, a custom icon, and encrypted asset archives. Choose the content folders included in your build.

The tools behind
the world.
Work directly in the engine: compose a scene, connect gameplay, manage audio, and prepare your build.
02 / RENDERING
Light. Material.
Everything between.
A deferred DirectX 12 renderer with ray-traced global illumination, detailed materials, and a choice of native or upscaled rendering.
Light that belongs in the scene.
Ray-traced global illumination with NRD denoising, radiance cascades, ambient occlusion, and volumetric lighting.
Your frame. Your choice.
Use MSAA, SMAA, or TAA for native rendering. Explore Ptero-Reconstruction for analytic anti-aliasing and spatial reconstruction, alongside DLSS or FSR upscaling and optional FSR frame generation on supported systems.
Find the right look.
Subsurface scattering, glass, reflections, bloom, exposure, and AgX tone mapping give you control over the final image.
PTEROSOFT STUDIO / IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION
Ptero-Reconstruction
Geometry gives the image context. Explore PteroAA for analytic edge anti-aliasing and PteroSR for analytic-aware spatial reconstruction, using current-frame geometry and surface information.

- Analytic geometric edge coverage
- PteroSR
- Spatial reconstruction from the current frame
- See it in detail
- Image comparisons, motion captures, and SDK information
Features shown reflect the engine in development. Upscaling, ray tracing, and frame generation depend on compatible hardware and runtime support.
03 / THE WORKFLOW
