xbase03 3d engine written in D programming lanuage

xbase_03 3d engine (written in D programming language)

under development

21.04.2008: render system package overview

it looks like many other scenegraphs and it will work like many other SGs (fact!). but mine is written in D. i don't see any progress on ports of existing C/C++ projects or useful native D projects. there are some but too much 3rd party lib dependency abuse, you will need hours to get it running ... and they are all in development or became inactive. so i decided to write my own. of course i was inspired by some of them available on internet: ogre, irrlicht, id software sources and alot of own research..... today i'm getting really real, with full blown scene graph (-package diagram) :D

CURRENT VERSION DEVELOPMENT GOALS (v0.1)

full OpenGL 1.5 support
small, easy, extendable and of course, stable
clear, readable code without fancies
aiming for NO extenal dependencies (maybe Tango runtime)
full featured scenegraph for realtime rendering

materials
shader support
technique support
textures (png)
models
animated mesh
and all the hot stuff that we need....

basic input handler: keyboard, mouse
basic sound engine: music, static wav, multichannel

THINKING ABOUT MORE WORK

Image processing
Generic textures
Demo Engine/Demo (Non Linear Animation) editor
Softsynth
Terrain renderer
BSP/Octree
md5, obj, 3ds model loaders
generic optimization: dynamic lod, frustum culling
particle system
shadows

Sample startup code:

   1:  // The root object
   2:  Root root;
   3:  
   4:  // Our scene manager, currently only one
   5:  SceneManager sceneManager;
   6:  
   7:  // Our camera
   8:  Camera myCamera;
   9:  
  10:  // Interesting part:
  11:  // Our scene node, we can have many of them and they arrange in 3d space somehow (we don't need to know at this point)
  12:  SceneNode mySceneNode;
  13:  // The good old entity "object"... looks like MVC for 3d engines
  14:  Entity myEntity;
  15:  
  16:  
  17:  // Just to make it running ;)
  18:  void main() {
  19:    
  20:    // Creates the root object
  21:    root = new Root();
  22:    
  23:    // Registers the scene manager
  24:    sceneManager = root.createSceneManager("GenericSceneManager", "mySceneManager");
  25:    
  26:    
  27:    // Creates the scene node
  28:    mySceneNode = sceneManager.createSceneNode("myWorld");
  29:    
  30:    // Creates an entity
  31:    myEntity = sceneManager.createEntity("PlayerEntity", "Player 1");
  32:    
  33:    // Links Entity with SceneNode
  34:    mySceneNode.attachEntity(myEntity);
  35:    
  36:    // ---------> enter mainloop
