Sketcher

A starting point for geometry processing, mesh editing and visualization applications and tests.

Download

clone the repository recursively: git clone --recursive https://github.com/HasKha/Sketcher.git

Do not download as zip, as the submodules won't be included and the project will not build.

Features

• Open and view OBJ or PLY meshes
• Quickly and easily prototype new code

The following features are implemented for fast prototyping:

• Customizable render system based on faces and edges
• Raytracer to pick vertices, edges or faces
• Independent worker and renderer threads for responsive interface while your code is thinking. The worker supports a queue of operations and can notify the renderer to refresh the view so you can see the progress of your algorithms.
• On-screen console (use print as if it was printf)

Dependencies

All dependencies are included. Some are git submodules, so make sure to clone the repository recursively.

• OpenMesh (Core only): Mesh I/O, mesh datastructure, and basic mesh operations such as iterators and circulators.
• ImGui: Easy and quick development of user interfaces.
• Eigen: Used for matrix datastructures, can be used for more powerful matrix-related operations.
• glfw / gl3w: Window management and OpenGL bindings.
• glm: Handle camera matrices and communication with glsl.
• stb: Saving screenshots and has useful bits if needed.

Operating System and compatibility

Windows

A Visual Studio project is provided and it should work out of the box.

Unix

All the software is compatible with Unix with the exception of:

• FileDialog.h/cpp: you will have to replace this, or just remove and hardcode filenames
• main.cpp: WinMain->main

You will need to make your own build system.
