High performance scenegraph and renderer for gaming. The Xith3d project consists of powerful middleware including a scenegraph and an extensible renderer. The goal is to create a lean and performative scenegraph and renderer while at the same time allowing for extensions and enchancements to all stages of the rendering pipeline. The underlying API interface is designed to be easily portable. Xith3d will provides ports for JOGL and LWJGL (which are OpenGL) but there is no reason why a DirectX port could not be made.
