Some showcase in below

The above demo use URL are all in the example project player file link
And apply to VR sphere mesh and a viewport texture in front of player

Getting started:

Windows, Linux platform build system use Visual Studio 17 2022

If you are using MSYS to build the linux version you can use build/msys_install.sh for install require package

In order to setup the project
Check this page for build process

1. Open build/[Platform]_pull_submodule.[bat/sh]

• This will clone the godot-cpp 4.1 in the root folder.

• And it will download the ffmpeg 6.0 windows build from github and unzip in the src folder.

• In the end your file structure will looks like below.

• root

  • build
  • src
    • src
    • ffmpeg (Add if desktop)
  • godot-cpp (Add)

2. Open build/[Platform]_codegen.[bat/sh]

• This will generate the solution in the GDExtensionTemplate-build folder.

3. Open GDExtensionTemplate-build/GDExtensionTemplate.sln.

• You cannot just build the solution for some reason, I can't find a way to change Runtime library from /MDd to /MD.
• So first, open property of GDExtensionTemplate project.
• Change C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library from /MDd to /MD.
  • If you don't change this options you will getting bunch of link error.
• After build is finish and success, the output will be in the GDExtensionTemplate-build\GDExtensionTemplate folder.

Repository structure:

• build/ - All the build scripts in here.
• src/ - Source code of this extension.
  • ffmpeg/ - FFmpeg library.
  • src/ - Wrapper source code.
• godot-cpp/ - Submodule needed for GDExtension compilation.

known issues
