Getting Started

The advanced graphics framework provides numerous tools for interacting with the graphics features that have been implemented. Refer to the following information on how to install and use the application.

Dependencies

To use the framework, the following prerequisites must be met.

• Windows 10+
• Visual Studio
• Git Version Control

The framework relies on the following libraries and APIs to function.

• DirectX 11
• ImGui
• ImGuizmo
• ImGuiFileDialog
• M3d Loader
• Assimp
• Rapid Json
• Fast Noise Lite

Installing

To download a copy of the framework, select "Download ZIP" from the main code repository page, or create a fork of the project. More information on forking a GitHub respository can be found here.

Executing program

As the project settings have been modified to support the addition of the aforementioned libraries and APIs, there are no additional steps required to execute the application.
