glTF VS GLFW

My understanding is that this is an evolution of the Autodeks Standard Surface (https://autodesk.github.io/standard-surface/), which itself is a subset set of the glTF 2.0 material with its PBR extensions (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF/blob/main/extensions/RE... )

Together this means there is a lot of alignment between these models. I wouldn't be surprised to see a glTF 3.0 that adopts the OpenPBR as its main material definition, skipping the current extension complexity.

OpenPBR for material exchange combined with MaterialX for shader graph exchange combined (https://materialx.org) with OpenUSD for geometry and scene graph exchange, means together we are headed into a world where high quality 3D assets are exchangeable between content creation tools.

Search animation related topics, like skinning and weights. This is constantly debated. As for the compression it is just standard with the format, there are some old topics on it.

An open standard that is very capable (but cannot find if it can do streaming) is https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF

It still misses some important things in the area of shading and animation for full transfer of all qualities you find in a modern 3d creation app like Blender.

I wondered this in the past as well and I found this issue, which has a lot of discussion on it and includes some plausible possible reasons, though it seems it's not entirely clear anymore why it is like it is: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF/issues/821

So the special thing about this is we didn't touch any of the PBR maps on it. At all. That was all automatic, I wrote a solving program. What I will reveal about that is the gltf spec I solved against is over here: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF . We're looking at using this with some 3D scanning businesses in NYC at the moment.

In the future, this can be properly done with the KHR_animation_pointer extension: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF/pull/2147

I think ideally you would extend the gltf material to add control over e.g. renderOrder, colorWrite, depthWrite, then implement the extension in your gltf loader

Probably not directly, but I'd look for frameworks that work with GLTF to have proper scene and asset management.

Probably it’s some kind of Sheen. This effect gives the material a velvety fabric / fur impression, which would work well with the Tom Nook character.

Minecraft runs on various Javas.

And there's a known issue with an interaction between minecraft, Java, and the video drivers that crashes out and it can be traced back all the way to here: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/1997

It's not fixed.

Window context manager - glfw, sdl

Types of tools for creating a gui (and how those tools approximately work): 1. Utilize the native _graphical interface API_, and depending on the platform, they have specific layers to interface: * Wayland, X11, for Linux * [GDI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/gdi/windows-gdi) for windows * [Quartz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz\_(graphics\_layer)) for macOS Example - GTK uses [wayland](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/main/docs/reference/gdk/wayland.md) ([source code](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/tree/main/gdk/win32)) [X11](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/main/docs/reference/gdk/x11.md) ([source code](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/tree/main/gdk/x11)) GDI ([source code](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/tree/main/gdk/win32)) Quartz ([source code](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/tree/main/gdk/macos)) [How to use wayland display server](https://bugaevc.gitbooks.io/writing-wayland-clients/content/black-square/the-wayland-client-library.html) (TODO missing "animation" section) 2. Utilize opengl _or other low level graphics api's_ with window context, use GPU to render widgets * Window context manager - [glfw](https://github.com/glfw/glfw), [sdl](https://www.libsdl.org/) * contexts and surfaces, reading input, handling events Example: ImGui, NanoVG, Nuklear, raylib Why? Mainly used for game development, but also good for gui's. _(i haven't seen any examples that uses this method that are used for developing general-use graphical user interfaces.)_

GLFW: A library for window creation and managing user input.

Not SDL2, but GLFW has something like that under the tests/ directory:

https://github.com/glfw/glfw/blob/master/tests/triangle-vulk...

I'm not familiar with LWJGL, my 5 seconds on their website makes me think you might be looking for something like GLFW https://www.glfw.org/ to handle I/O and window creation/management.

Consider GLFW3 for windowing and GLAD for function loading. I've used this combination myself successfully. Granted, that is "two things" you need, but OTOH it'll work well.

There is a pattern to it which is usable with every GitHub repository. For example, GLFW v3.3.8 can be fetched from: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/archive/refs/tags/3.3.8.tar.gz

That is a static or import library for glfw. You need add the path to the directory where this file is located to the "library directories", see: https://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/a2-using-libraries-with-visual-studio-2005-express/
