inMyRoom_vulkan

An indie Game Engine using Vulkan API. Windows and Linux support.

Noticeable Features

• Realtime Path-tracing and Denoising using NRD's reLAX method.
• Morphological Anti-Aliasing using Visibility Buffer Multisampling.
• Tone Mapping with Dynamic Exposure.
• Entity Component System with Collision Detection.
• Texture Filtering that preserves Normal Map roughness.
• Support for glTF 2.0 scenes and models. Including Morph Targets and Skinning.
• Coded with care and love. Debugged with salt and tears.

Deps - Submodules

• VulkanMemoryAllocator-Hpp , the usual VMA library but with Vulkan-Hpp binding.
• glfw , window and input library.
• GLM , math library for OpenGL and Vulkan.
• configuru , config file library.
• tinygltf , glTF model import.
• eig3 , eigenvector library for PCA for OBBs.
• NRD , NVIDIA's ray tracing denoisers (reLAX, reBLUR)

Installation (Compiling)

First of all, you need a Vulkan-ready graphics driver, a modern C++ compiler, CMake, Git, Vulkan SDK installed and environment variables VULKAN_SDK_PATH/VULKAN_SDK pointing to the installation path of the SDK.

On Linux glfw need X11 development packages installed.

• On Ubuntu you need: xorg-dev
• On Fedora : libXcursor-devel libXi-devel libXinerama-devel libXrandr-devel

Having environment set, download the repo and submodules by running the following command.

git clone --depth 1 --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules https://github.com/thesmallcreeper/inMyRoom_vulkan.git

Linux / Windows using CMake

• CMake build inside /inMyRoom_vulkan folder.
• Sponza scene should be able to launch. However in order to launch a scene/game which has a gameDLL such as SnakeGame you should go to the game's folder (over at /inMyRoom_vulkan/testGames/ folder), open the game_dll and CMake build it.
  • Make sure scene's/game's gameConfig.cfg's variable gameDLL/path is pointing to the .dll or .so just created (if one was needed).
  • Make sure /inMyRoom_vulkan/config.cfg's variable game/path is pointing to the game's gameConfig.cfg you want to launch.
• Launch inMyRoom_vulkan with the /inMyRoom_vulkan as working folder.
