# LowLevelRenderContextStandalone

A standalone Metal-backed render context for creating low-level rendering resources.

## Declaration

```swift
final class LowLevelRenderContextStandalone
```

## Overview

Overview LowLevelRenderContextStandalone is a concrete implementation of LowLevelRenderContext and LowLevelRenderContextLighting. Create one using the async initializer for full setup including shader and pipeline compilation, or the synchronous initializer using a pre-compiled LowLevelRenderContextStandalone.Resources instance.
