Can I use bgfx to do offscreen rendering with my own d3d device / context?

I have a custom built engine that is based on DirectX 11 & OpenCL.

The engine preforms real time rendering to an offscreen buffer.
So no window, no present, no swapchain & no mouse and keyboard.

I've been looking for a long time for a graphics middleware that will allow me to abstract away complicated rendering tasks but will still let me have the low-level control where I want it.

In particular:

• I need to have full control over DirectX device / context creation. Whatever library I use will have to use this context only.
• I need to have full access to the underlying DirectX rendering target.
• The library must not synchronize the GPU - no present / swap buffers.

Can I achieve this with bgfx?

Yes, see bgfx::Init documentation: https://bkaradzic.github.io/bgfx/bgfx.html#_CPPv4N4bgfx4Init12platformDataE

Also you have full source so you can modify library to achieve whatever you need.

Oh sweet! Thanks! PlatformData is what I need.
