Cubicoid

The 3D-Surface Graphing Utility

4D now that I think about it. There are 3 parameters: u,v,w. W isn't used, but you can change it if you'd like

Dependencies

1. GLFW
2. GL 4.2
3. GLAD (already included when compiling)
4. STB_IMAGE (for loading images, also included)
5. GLM (install this from their repository)
6. Dear Imgui (already included when compiling)

Prerequisites

1. All of the above dependencies installed
2. g++

The make file relies on the `find` command, so you may not be able to compile at all on a Windows machine, or just use WSL.

Compiling instructions

1. git clone https://github.com/classAndrew/cubicoid.git
2. cd cubicoid
3. mkdir bin
4. make

To run, bin/runner

Usage

Currently, you have to write your own mini programs and compile with in order to graph anything. I'm currently working on implementing an evaluator or a nicer way to just link already compiled to objects together. If you're itching to get graphing, take a look at vert_gen.cpp which specifies x, y, z coords with a given transformation of u, v, w (w is not used).

Compile and run if you want to render a sample surface.

Prospectives

• Dynamic loading of compiled functions for drawing the surface
• Maybe port to webGL some time
• Right now, I'm not utilizing compute shaders to their maximum potential. All vertices are calculated by the CPU and passed to the shaders only to draw stuff
