Bamboo

What is Bamboo

Bamboo is a lightweight simulation engine that supports high-fidelity graphics rendering, and will mainly focus on AIGC and cloud rendering technologies in the future. Bamboo uses vulkan as the only graphics/computing api, and is written in C++17.

Features

• UE-like Editor
• Flexible panel docking
• Static mesh rendering
• Skeletal mesh rendering
• Asset drag-drop importing
• Asset drag-drop placing
• Pixel-perfect picking and outline highlighting
• 3D translation/rotation/scale gizmos
• Reflection and serialization system
• Physically-Based Rendering
• Deferred and forward mixing rendering paths
• Multiple light types(Directional/Sky/Point/Spot)
• Shadow rendering for every light type
• Postprocessing(Color Grading)

How to build

Supported Platforms

• Windows
• Linux(WIP)
• MacOS(TODO)

Prerequites

• Git.
• CMake. Version 3.20.0 or later is required.
• Vulkan Sdk. Verison 1.3 or later is prefered.

Step 1. Clone the sources and create a build directory.

git clone https://github.com/Code-Guy/Bamboo.git
cd Bamboo
mkdir build && cd build

Step 2. Use CMake to generate project file using any desired generator.

cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 Win64" -S . -B build

Step 3. Finally, you can use any IDE according to you selected generator, but you can also just build straight from CMake.

cmake --build build --config Release

External libraries

All external libraries' source codes have been integrated into this repo, so there is no need to clone those libraries manually:)

• glm(math)
• glfw(window and input)
• imgui(gui)
• spdlog(logging)
• yaml-cpp(config)
• tinygltf(model loading)
• ktx(texture loading)
• cereal(serialization)
• json(required by cereal)
