Graphics Playground

This is a WIP personal project started with the goal to learn real-time graphics programming and improve my C++ along the way.

Space Invaders demo

Current Progress

• GPU abstraction
• Texture, Shader, Mesh loading
• Entity Component System
• Materal system for abstracting shader inputs
• Forward renderer with PBR shading
• Shadow maps for directional lights
• Point lights
• Texture tiling

Skills Learnt

• OpenGL programming
• PBR Theory
• Modern C++ features

TODO

• Support shadow mapping for point lights
• Improve input support
• Support transparent materials
• Image Based Lighting
• AA (FXAA, MSAA... tbd)]
• Bloom
• Motion Blur
• SSAO
• SSR
• Contact Shadows
• Improve building experience
• SceneGraph for collision, culling etc
• SceneHierarchy for proper scene organisation
• Assimp texture loading
• Make prettier demo
• Audio handling

Building

Dependencies: glfw, assimp, glm

The easiest way to install these it with vcpkg: https://vcpkg.io/

To build:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj
