Hey guys!
I'm new here and I recently started developing my own rendering engine. It's open source, based on OpenGL/DirectX and C++.
The full source code is hosted on github:
https://github.com/fleissna/flyEngine
I would appreciate if people with experience in game development / engine desgin could take a look at my source code. I'm looking for honest, constructive criticism on how to improve the engine.
I'm currently writing my master's thesis in computer science and in the recent year I've gone through all the basics about graphics programming, learned DirectX and OpenGL, read some articles on Nvidia GPU Gems, read books and integrated some of this stuff step by step into the engine.
I know about the basics, but I feel like there is some missing link that I didn't get yet to merge all those little pieces together.
Features I have so far:
- Dynamic shader generation based on material properties
- Dynamic sorting of meshes to be renderd based on shader and material
- Rendering large amounts of static meshes
- Hierarchical culling (detail + view frustum)
- Limited support for dynamic (i.e. moving) meshes
- Normal, Parallax and Relief Mapping implementations
- Wind animations based on vertex displacement
- A very basic integration of the Bullet physics engine
- Procedural Grass generation
- Some post processing effects (Depth of Field, Light Volumes, Screen Space Reflections, God Rays)
- Caching mechanisms for textures, shaders, materials and meshes
Features I would like to have:
- Global illumination methods
- Scalable physics
- Occlusion culling
- A nice procedural terrain generator
- Scripting
- Level Editing
- Sound system
- Optimization techniques
Books I have so far:
- Real-Time Rendering Third Edition
- 3D Game Programming with DirectX 11
- Vulkan Cookbook (not started yet)
I hope you guys can take a look at my source code and if you're really motivated, feel free to contribute :-)
There are some videos on youtube that demonstrate some of the features:
Procedural grass on the GPU
Procedural Terrain Engine
Quadtree detail and view frustum culling
The long term goal is to turn this into a commercial game engine. I'm aware that this is a very ambitious goal, but I'm sure it's possible if you work hard for it.
Bye,
Phil

I have attached my project in a .zip file if you wish to run it for yourself.
I am making a simple 2d top-down game and I am trying to run my code to see if my window creation is working and to see if my timer is also working with it. Every time I run it though I get errors. And when I fix those errors, more come, then the same errors keep appearing. I end up just going round in circles. Is there anyone who could help with this?
Errors when I build my code:

Hi guys,
There are many ways to do light culling in tile-based shading. I've been playing with this idea for a while, and just want to throw it out there.
Because tile frustums are general small compared to light radius, I tried using cone test to reduce false positives introduced by commonly used sphere-frustum test.
On top of that, I use distance to camera rather than depth for near/far test (aka. sliced by spheres).
This method can be naturally extended to clustered light culling as well.
The following image shows the general ideas
Performance-wise I get around 15% improvement over sphere-frustum test. You can also see how a single light performs as the following: from left to right (1) standard rendering of a point light; then tiles passed the test of (2) sphere-frustum test; (3) cone test; (4) spherical-sliced cone test
I put the details in my blog post (https://lxjk.github.io/2018/03/25/Improve-Tile-based-Light-Culling-with-Spherical-sliced-Cone.html), GLSL source code included!

Good evening everyone!
I was wondering if there is something equivalent of GL_NV_blend_equation_advanced for AMD?
Basically I'm trying to find more compatible version of it.
Thank you!

Hello guys,
Please tell me!
How do I know? Why does wavefront not show for me?
I already checked I have non errors yet.
using OpenTK; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using System.Text; namespace Tutorial_08.net.sourceskyboxer { public class WaveFrontLoader { private static List<Vector3> inPositions; private static List<Vector2> inTexcoords; private static List<Vector3> inNormals; private static List<float> positions; private static List<float> texcoords; private static List<int> indices; public static RawModel LoadObjModel(string filename, Loader loader) { inPositions = new List<Vector3>(); inTexcoords = new List<Vector2>(); inNormals = new List<Vector3>(); positions = new List<float>(); texcoords = new List<float>(); indices = new List<int>(); int nextIdx = 0; using (var reader = new StreamReader(File.Open("Contents/" + filename + ".obj", FileMode.Open), Encoding.UTF8)) { string line = reader.ReadLine(); int i = reader.Read(); while (true) { string[] currentLine = line.Split(); if (currentLine[0] == "v") { Vector3 pos = new Vector3(float.Parse(currentLine[1]), float.Parse(currentLine[2]), float.Parse(currentLine[3])); inPositions.Add(pos); if (currentLine[1] == "t") { Vector2 tex = new Vector2(float.Parse(currentLine[1]), float.Parse(currentLine[2])); inTexcoords.Add(tex); } if (currentLine[1] == "n") { Vector3 nom = new Vector3(float.Parse(currentLine[1]), float.Parse(currentLine[2]), float.Parse(currentLine[3])); inNormals.Add(nom); } } if (currentLine[0] == "f") { Vector3 pos = inPositions[0]; positions.Add(pos.X); positions.Add(pos.Y); positions.Add(pos.Z); Vector2 tc = inTexcoords[0]; texcoords.Add(tc.X); texcoords.Add(tc.Y); indices.Add(nextIdx); ++nextIdx; } reader.Close(); return loader.loadToVAO(positions.ToArray(), texcoords.ToArray(), indices.ToArray()); } } } } } And It have tried other method but it can't show for me. I am mad now. Because any OpenTK developers won't help me.
Please help me how do I fix.
And my download (mega.nz) should it is original but I tried no success...
- Add blend source and png file here I have tried tried,.....
PS: Why is our community not active? I wait very longer. Stop to lie me!
Thanks !

Note that there is no real distinction here.Is it like he creates entire model of the trees n things in 3ds max and just loads it in opengl ?
or is the foliage built using coordinates and texturing ?
Art tools like Max just provide simpler ways to produce "coordinates and texturing" - you could painstakingly build each tree by hand, by manually specifying each coordinate (though you shouldn't, art tools were built for this).

I think he meant more like "use some procedural algorithm to generate the foliage" in that second sentence.

Don't know how this one did it, neither if "running realtime" was a target, but when looking at games such as Crysis, you could research the following topics:
* Terrain render (that is without trees, grass and rocks!)
How to render a LOD grid? How to blend the ground textures (via vertex painting)
* Water rendering
* Objects (trees, rocks, ...) & Instancing
In a jungle, you probably draw the same plants and trees dozens of times. Using VBO's & Instancing could give a big gain here.
* Placement of objects
How to place these objects. Randomly generated? Or done by an artist in a editor? As for games, they usually let the editor produce a random forest first, then the artist flies through with a bandsaw to move, add & delete objects.
* Athmosphere ./ skybox rendering
* Rendering method; Deferred / Forward
Deferred or Inferred rendering pipelines are popular these days as they allow to use bigger numbers of lamps. Then again, if you only want the sun and maybe a few other local sources, Forward might work easier for you. Depending on your choice, you need to think forward how you will render (semi) transparent stuff like grass and the leaves, because doing transparent rendering is more harsh in a Deferred pipeline. Not impossible, but you'll need some tricks.

Yeah, pretty much.
Note that the entire jungle isn't a single model though. Rather, it's made out of multiple objects, e.g. each type of tree would be a model. Then it repeats the same few models all over the place, maybe modifying them a bit (e.g. a bit of scaling or whatever). If you have a lot of repeated objects you may want to use instancing on modern hardware to reduce the amount of calls, otherwise you may just render them directly as needed.
