<p>This repository contains the PowerVR Graphics cross-platform native (C++) SDK source code. The SDK includes optimized example applications to demonstrate the most efficient ways of implementing common 3D graphics effects on PowerVR graphics cores. It also includes a cross-platform OS and graphics API abstraction layer, and a library of helper code for resource loading, vector and matrix maths, text printing and more.</p>

<p>The PowerVR Graphics SDK provides a framework which is made up of PVRShell and PVRTools. PVRShell is a simple, light-weight architecture for the barebones of application setup, shutdown and event handling. It is designed to streamline the process of writing cross-platform graphics applications. PVRTools, on the other hand, is a cross-platform tools library containing the most commonly used functionality in a 3D graphics application.</p>

<p>The examples provided in the SDK are fully commented, highly optimized C++ applications that cover a variety of rendering techniques. They are designed in a step-by-step tutorial style to gradually guide the most inexperienced graphics developers from a simple render of a single triangle to complex scenes that incorporate many objects, animations and shader effects.</p>
