Here are various examples for Magnum OpenGL 3 engine, demonstrating Magnum features, usage and capabilities. If you don't know what Magnum is, see https://github.com/mosra/magnum. The examples are explained in the documentation, which is also available online at http://mosra.cz/blog/magnum-doc/example-index.html. Featured examples:
- Triangle - Hello World of 3D graphics, displaying triangle with interpolated colors.
- Textured Triangle - Loads texture and displays triangle with texture on it.
- Cube Map - Demonstrates usage of cube map textures and different texture layers for simulation of open world.
- Motion Blur - Moving spheres with motion blur.
- Framebuffer - Demonstrates usage of multiple fragment shader outputs and framebuffer operations for displaying different color-corrected versions of the same image.
- Viewer - Opens and displays COLLADA model.
Each example has its own README, explaining the features and key/mouse
controls, see src/ subdirectories.
You can either use packaging scripts, which are stored in package/ subdirectory, or compile and install everything manually. The building process is similar to Magnum itself - see Magnum documentation for more comprehensive guide for building, packaging and crosscompiling.
- C++ compiler with good C++11 support. Currently there are two compilers
which are tested to support everything needed: GCC >= 4.6 and Clang
= 3.1.
- CMake >= 2.6
- OpenGL headers, on Linux most probably shipped with Mesa
- GLEW - OpenGL extension wrangler
- GLUT - OpenGL utility toolkit
- Magnum - The engine itself
- Magnum plugins - Plugins needed by the examples, you can get them at https://github.com/mosra/magnum-plugins
The plugins can be built and installed using these four commands:
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .. && make
make install
