Anemoneer Engine

• Sea anemones are the slowest-moving animal in the world. Unfortunately, Anemone"er" means this project update is slower than sea anemones. But at least it's a pretty specie.

• Run "build.bat" to generate the Visual Studio 2022, x64, C++17 project, compile shader, build and run program. CMake at least version 3.8 is required.

• Introduction video:

• Even though, I call it a game engine, it is not just for game development. It is for my interest. I might do something that does not relate game development, also might not want to do something, even though it is really important for game development.

• Scene: default 0

  • How to add and delete a scene, object, component,
  • and load eid for scene, object, component,
  • and modify paraments and update the modification.
  • and set model, outline, position, material, show normal and mesh.

• Scene: scene1 1
  • How to set camera control and focus, use post-processing, and modify gamma and exposure.
  • Main featurn in this scene, cubemap, animation, attach skeletion, particle,
  • line, reflection & refraction, mulit-render, 2D render, bloom, grayscale.

• Scene: pbr1 2
  • The scene is for PBR and multi-lights demo.

• Scene: raytracing1 3
  • When raytracingDepth's value of camera component is larger than 0, it runs ray tracing.
  • The system only supports spheres. In transform component, it could edit the location and radius of the sphere. localScaleX is radius.
  • Material component is neccseary. It only supports baseColor and metallic. If metallic's valule is larger than 0, it will reflect the environment.

• In qeheader.h, you can find out the whole flag and type.

Feature

• mutli-viewports, post-processing.
• light and camera control.
• vertex, tessellation control & evaluation(triangle-faces become opposite(cw)), geometry, fragment shader, compute shader(particles).
• Phong shading and PBR(Physically-Based Rendering), gamma, exposure, grayscale, bloom.
• diffuse map, baseColor map, cubemap & reflection & refraction, normal map.
• skeletal animation, attach obj, draw lines, billboards, particle system.
• draw mulit-render, 2D render, outline(stencil buffer) and multisample anti-aliasing(MSAA)
• Log output, call stack trace and command.
• For model - obj, mtl, gltf (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Blender-Exporter).
• For image - png, jpeg, bmp.
• For string - xml, json.
• Decode deflate, Huffman code, png, jpeg.
• Math library.
• Setting: data/config.xml
• Input:
  • "esc" : Close the program.
  • "+" : Add a new viewport.
  • "-" : Remove the last viewport.
  • "1"~"9" : Choose a viewport to control its camera.
  • "Up","Down","Left","Right","W","A","S","D","Q","E","Z","C","X","MouseLeftMove","MouseRightMove" : Move the camera.
  • "/" : turn on command mode or input directly in console.
    • "showmesh" : switch between mesh mode and model mode.
    • "shownormal" : switch if drawing normal or not.
    • "resetcamera" : Initialize the camera.
    • "scene [p1]" : Restart the programe. p1 is scene name. If p1 is empty, it means to restart the current scene. In config.xml, it has 28000, 28001, 28002, 28003.
