Safi Engine

    Visibility System

    WIP — Not yet implemented

    This subsystem is planned but does not exist in the engine yet. Everything is assumed visible if the demo chooses to draw it.

    Planned features

    Visibility component

    A Visibility flag component that controls whether an entity is drawn. Combined with inherited visibility, toggling a parent off would hide all children.

    Frustum culling

    SafiMesh already stores an AABB (aabb_min / aabb_max) in the mesh header. A frustum culling system would test each entity's world-space AABB against the active camera's frustum and skip draw calls for off-screen geometry.

    Render layers / masks

    A bitmask on both cameras and renderable entities, allowing selective rendering — e.g. a minimap camera that only sees terrain, or a UI camera that only sees HUD elements.
