Marching Cubes

Implementation of marching cubes algorithm in C++ .

About

• Vertex coordinates and face normals generated on the GPU using a compute shader.
• Simplex noise at each point used as density function.
• For smooth (Gouraud) shading, vertices are indexed and the vertex normals are calculated on the CPU.

How To Run This On Windows

• Clone the repository including the submodules using :

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/The-curs0r/marching-cubes.git

• Go into the cloned repository and run CMake :

cd marching-cubes
cmake CMakeLists.txt -B ./build/ -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"
cd build
start marchingCubes.sln

• Build the solution for Release configuration
• Copy the shader files to the Release folder and run the application :

copy *.glsl ./Release/
cd Release
start .\marchingCubes.exe

How To Run This On Linux

• Clone the repository including the submodules using :

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/The-curs0r/marching-cubes.git

• Go into the cloned repository and run CMake :

cd marching-cubes
cmake CMakeLists.txt -B ./build/ -G "Unix Makefiles"
cd build
make all
./marchingCubes
