# DigitalVox4 - Metal Graphics Engine
DigitalVox is the name of a series. Although each version is based on a component system, the specific implementation is
very different. Therefore, different code repositories are used for management. Please obtain the code you need on
demand:
1. DigitalVox2: Engine written in Swift, 3rd party library bridged by Objective-C++.
2. DigitalVox3: Engine developed in C++, based on the math library provided by Ozz.
3. **DigitalVox4** : This engine is based on C++, and the underlying mathematical library is templated to support the
precision requirements of rendering and physical simulation at the same time. The rendering layer abstraction for
Metal makes it possible to use the C++ compiler instead of Objective-C++ globally, and encapsulates GLFW events to
achieve cross-platform. Further, clean up the component system and eliminate the global dependency. And make the
rendering pipeline independent of the camera, so it is easier to customize the rendering pipeline.
## Motivation
This project is inspired by [Oasis](https://github.com/oasis-engine) which is an ECS-liked based engine(not very strict)
. Based on entity and component, it is easy to combine other open-source ability:
1. [ImGui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui): GUI system
2. [OZZ-Animation](https://github.com/guillaumeblanc/ozz-animation): CPU Animation System
3. [PhysX](https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/PhysX): Physical System
Which can load a lot of model format including:
1. [FBX](https://www.autodesk.com/developer-network/platform-technologies/fbx-sdk-2016-1-2): FBX loader with Ozz
animation
2. [GLTF](https://github.com/syoyo/tinygltf): GLTF Loader with GPU-based Skinning Animation
3. [Other](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/modelio/mdlasset/1391813-canimportfileextension): OBJ and other
format loaded by ModelIO Framework
## Cloning && Install
This repository contains submodules for external dependencies, so when doing a fresh clone you need to clone
recursively:
```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/yangfengzzz/DigitalVox4.git
```
Existing repositories can be updated manually:
```
git submodule init
git submodule update
```
After clone all third-party dependencies, use the script in third_party folder to build them all:
```
./build.sh
```
In addition, you also need to download and
install [FBX 2016.1.2](https://www.autodesk.com/developer-network/platform-technologies/fbx-sdk-2016-1-2), then you can
compile all the code smoothly.
## Feature
You can read code in [apps](https://github.com/yangfengzzz/DigitalVox4/tree/main/apps) to find the feature in this code,
like physx and shadow:
You can also redirect to [effect](https://github.com/yangfengzzz/DigitalVoxEffect) to see more effects.
