This project provides me a solid modern OpenGL renderer starting point for implementing modern established rendering techniques and getting quickly started in own research topics.
Frequently tested under

• [latest windows and ubuntu version]
• [GCC/CLANG/MSVC]

With the provided CMake file you are able to built the project on Linux (Ubuntu is tested) and Windows. I do not provide support for MacOS. Be aware of the dependencies:

• OpenGL 4.6
• GLAD
• glm
• glfw
• tinyobjloader
• imgui
• glad
• stb
• doxygen
• gtest
• cmake
• gsl
• NSIS

• cppcheck
• renderdoc
• nsightgraphics
• valgrind
• clangtidy
• visualstudio
• ClangPowerTools
• Codecov

You might only clone the repo and get to go immediately :)

Dependencies to libraries are stated above.
C++20 or higher required.
C17 or higher required.
CMake 3.20 or higher required.

NOTE: This project relies on the newest OpenGL version and their features.

1. Clone the repo

   $ git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:Kataglyphis/GraphicEngine.git

   Important for init the submodules.

   NOTE: With powershell in Windows git has currently a problem with cloning recursively. You might consider using the git bash.

2. Then build your solution with [CMAKE] (https://cmake.org/)
   Here the recommended way over command line after cloning the repo:
   (for clarity: Assumption you are in the dir you have cloned the repo into)

$ mkdir build ; cd build
# enlisting all available presets
$ cmake --list-presets=all ../
$ cmake --preset <configurePreset-name> ../
$ cmake --build --preset <buildPreset-name> .
# necessary for making Resources available to test framework
$ cmake -E copy_directory ../Resources/ Test/Resources/

Alternatively you can use the build scripts I use for my standard configuration:

• [buildEngine.sh]
• [buildEngine.bat]

$ {WORKING_DIR}/GraphicsEngine/buildEngine[.sh/.bat]

• Watch test results here

Watch the refman generated by doxygen.
