foolrenderer is a rasterization based software renderer implemented from scratch. Its main features include programmable rendering pipeline, physically based materials, etc. Hope it helps someone who is learning computer graphics.
To build foolrenderer, you must first install the following tools:
- Visual Studio 2019 (or more recent)
- CMake 3.5 (or more recent)
- Xcode 12.3 (or more recent)
- CMake 3.5 (or more recent)
After installing Xcode you need to make sure the command line tools are set up by running:
$ xcode-select --install$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build .Here are some useful literature and videos for self-study computer graphics. I've also added links to literature on specific problems to the source code.
- Grant Sanderson 2016, Essence of linear algebra - Learning graphics requires knowing the basic concepts of linear algebra, and this series of videos will help you enjoy mastering vectors, matrices and other mathematical tools.
- Dmitry V. Sokolov 2015, Tiny renderer or how OpenGL works: software rendering in 500 lines of code - An excellent introductory course in computer graphics. After taking this course you will find that learning OpenGL has become a lot easier.
- Lingqi Yan 2020, GAMES101: Introduction to Computer Graphics (Chinese course) - Courses cover rasterization, geometry, ray tracing and animation. If you are a Chinese speaker, this course can help you get started quickly.
- Joey de Vries 2014, LearnOpenGL - When you master the basics of graphics, you can easily get started with graphics APIs such as OpenGL. You can learn advanced features like Shadow Mapping, Gamma Correction, Normal Mapping, HDR, SSAO and more in this course.
- Lingqi Yan 2021, GAMES202: Real-Time High Quality Rendering (Chinese course) - The course introduces many real-time rendering techniques widely adopted by the industry, such as shadows, environment mapping, global illumination, physically based shading, real-time ray tracing, etc.
- Grant Sanderson 2017, Essence of calculus - Watching this series of videos will at least help you understand the rendering equation.
- Naty Hoffman 2013, Background: Physics and Math of Shading
- Shree K. Nayar 2021, Radiometry and Reflectance - The first 7 videos of this play list are helpful for understanding Radiometry and BRDF.
- Charles de Rousiers & Sébastian Lagarde 2014, Moving Frostbite to PBR - The EA DICE team detailed the PBR implementation of the Frostbite engine in this course. Hope the Battlefield 2042 update goes well.
- Romain Guy & Mathias Agopian 2018, Physically Based Rendering in Filament
