Rendering Backend Detection for Unreal Engine

BetterRHI is a lightweight plugin designed to detect the current rendering backend in use within Unreal Engine. With this plugin, you can instantly determine whether your project is running on DirectX11, DirectX12, or Vulkan, enabling conditional optimizations and comprehensive support logging.

Core Features:

• Real-Time Detection: Instantly identify the active rendering backend from both C++ and Blueprints.

• Multi-Backend Support: Accurate detection for DirectX11, DirectX12, and Vulkan rendering APIs.

• Simple Integration: Minimal setup required with straightforward function calls for immediate use.

• Lightweight Design: Zero overhead approach focused purely on RHI detection without unnecessary complexity.

Use cases:

• Conditional Optimizations: Automatically adjust rendering settings or shader complexity based on the active backend.

• Feature Gating: Enable or disable specific graphical features depending on backend capabilities and compatibility.

• Support Logging: Include rendering backend information in crash reports or diagnostic logs for easier troubleshooting.

• Quality Assurance: Verify correct rendering backend selection across different hardware configurations during testing.

• User Feedback: Display current rendering API information in settings menus or debug overlays for transparency.

Development Considerations:

• Runtime Detection: BetterRHI detects the rendering backend at runtime, reflecting the actual API in use rather than project settings alone.

• Platform Awareness: Different platforms may support different rendering backends. Use detection results to implement platform-appropriate behavior.
