Traktor is a full 3D game engine with a first-class editor, Vulkan renderer, Lua scripting, physics, animation, sound, and asset pipelines. It also exposes a built-in MCP server so AI tools can create, query, and update engine assets in the project database.
Builders who are making games and want an engine with an editor, runtime, and asset pipeline.
You can build and iterate on games in one engine codebase, with editor tools and AI-accessible assets in the same workflow.
The editor supports one-click deploy, run, and debug, hot reload for assets, undo/redo, localization, and themes.
The renderer uses a frame graph, GPU occlusion culling, shader graphs, deferred and forward+ paths, ray tracing, ReSTIR GI, and upscaler support.
Lua is the main scripting language, with an integrated script debugger and profiler.
The engine includes Jolt and Bullet physics, character and vehicle controllers, skeletal animation, IK, ragdolls, and motion components.
The editor exposes an MCP server that can create, query, and update assets such as shader graphs, entities, scenes, and textures in the database.
The repo includes build and run scripts for Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi, and editor and server targets.
Traktor is an open-source 3d game engine written in C++, it has powered several successful commercial titles across various platforms including Steam, PSN, iOS, and the Mac Store.
Traktor isn't just another game engine; it's a meticulously crafted toolkit designed for optimal performance and flexibility. Here's why it stands out:
Lean and Well-Designed: Each module boasts clean responsibilities, ensuring an elegant and efficient codebase.
Minimal Footprint: Traktor prioritizes low memory and storage usage, ensuring streamlined performance.
Optimized for Efficiency: Utilizing modern rendering techniques and efficient algorithms, Traktor delivers exceptional performance.
Tailored Flexibility: Unlike bloated, one-size-fits-all engines, Traktor is customizable to fit the unique needs of every project.
Traktor currently offers full support for Windows and Linux platforms. While mobile versions for Android and iOS are available, they are not officially tested but are regularly updated to maintain compatibility.
See releases for prebuilt binaries.
A nightly release is built automatically from master every night and contains:
Only the latest successful nightly is kept, so the releases page always offers a current build. Note that these are untested automated builds of the release configurations; if you need a specific fix, or want to follow development closely, we still recommend building the engine from source.
Linux: Refer to Build Linux for detailed instructions.
Windows: Follow the guidelines outlined in Build Windows for seamless setup.
