About

---------------------------------

An OpenGL 4.3 / C++ 11 rendering engine oriented towards animation.

Features:

* Custom animation model format, SKMA, with a [Blender exporter](https://github.com/tcoppex/io-scene-skma) and a C++ Importer.

* Skeleton animation with GPU Skinning using *Dual Quaternion Blending*.

* Blend shape control (*Morph Targets*).

* Blend tree for sequences and clips processing.

Demos

---------------------------------

    

        aura

        A technical demo demonstrating the animation capabilities of the engine, with some rendering techniques (eg. HBAO on Compute Shader).

    

    

        cuda_cs_blur

        Performance comparison between a CUDA and a Compute Shader blur kernel.

    

    

        gpu_raymarching

        Raymarching on a Fragment Shader.

    

    

        hair

        dynamic hair simulation rendered with tesselation and instanciation.

    

    

        ik_demo

        A Basic Inverse Kinematic demo.

    

    

        marching_cube

        Procedural geometry generation with a marching cube algorithm on the GPU using transform feedback.

    

Compilation

---------------------------------

The build was compiled against GCC 4.9.

Compile first the engine, then the demos :

```bash

mkdir build; cd build;

mkdir engine; cd engine

cmake ../../engine -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release

make -j4

cd ..

mkdir demos; cd demos

cmake ../../demos -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release

make -j4

```

Engine dependencies :

    

        SFML 2.1

        Used as core window manager.

    

    

        Freeimage 3

        Image loader.

    

    

        Armadillo 3.9

        Linear algebra library.

    

    

        GLM 0.9.6+

        OpenGL Mathematics library.

    

    

        GLEW 0.9.0+

        OpenGL wrangler.

    

    

        GLSW

        GLSL wrangler (provided).
