- Windows 64-bit operating system
- Windows SDK 8.0 or newer
- Visual Studio Community 2015 or newer
- OpenGL 3.3 compatible video adapter
Build application with your Visual Studio IDE using soluton file gfxren.sln
For an IDE agnostic build use buildnrun.bat, release only (msbuild path has to be set)
W, A, S, D - Moves camera forwards, to the left, backwards and to the right respectively
Spacebar - Moves camera upwards
F - Toggle borderless fullscreen mode
G - Toggle GUI
Mouse left button - Camera control
Mouse right button - Toggle cursor and camera mode
Mouse scroll - Zoom in/out
- Keyboard and mouse input
- Scene camera
- Construction of primitive models (geometric shapes)
- Support for model transformations in 3D space
- Shader building and interaction system
- Logging system and other utility features
| Directory | Information |
|---|---|
asset |
Functionality necessary for importing textures, constructing meshes and models. Model 3D transformations. |
context |
Provides application's front-end with components, needed to create window and rendering context. Interacts with operating system/window-specific stuff. |
gpudata |
Components allowing data transition between system and GPU memory. Data buffer creation. Data upload and description. |
input |
Keyboard and mouse input handling. Key binding. |
rendering |
Contains component responsible for drawing graphics and interaction with shader programs. |
scene |
Provides transformations for camera-like behaviour. |
shader |
Shader program compilation and linkage. Provides interface between C++ and GLSL programs. |
util |
Logging, exception handling etc. |
Nearest future
- Implement model import feature (implemented)
- GUI (implemented)
- Lighting and antialiasing (partially implemented)
Long-term perspective
- Basic physics
- Software ray-tracing
- Skeletal animations
