# Glint Renderer

This is my second attempt at an OpenGL-based renderer written in C++. I followed the Udemy course [Computer Graphics with Modern OpenGL and C++](https://www.udemy.com/course/graphics-with-modern-opengl/learn/) to get the basics down, including phong lighting, shadowmapping (directional and omnidirectional), models and textures.

I intend to continue working on it from time to time until I feel confident enough with graphics programming principles to move onto a newer API like Vulkan.

## Project structure

* `assets`: Binary files ingested during runtime

* `external`: External libraries that aren't fetched by CMake

* `src/App`: Application-layer stuff

* `src/Renderer`: The bulk of the source - OpenGL abstractions, shader code, etc

* `src/Util`: Utility functions

## Setup

Requires Conan 2.0 or higher.

Run `conan install . --output-folder=build --build=missing --settings=build_type=Debug` to install dependencies.

Conan will generate `CMakeUserPresets.json`, which should inform CMake of the available presets for building the project.

## Stretch goals

- [x] Encapsulate renderer passes

- [ ] Improve shadow rendering

- [ ] Implement a post-processing pass with at least one effect (e.g. bloom)

- [ ] Improve the asset manager

- [ ] Improve asset loaders

- [ ] Implement particle system

- [ ] Implement debug UI

- [ ] Expose performance stats through debug UI

- [ ] Implement water rendering
