gltf VS gg

This is a very ugly and confusing site which claims to be an overview of the format. I balked after trying in vain to parse it for two minutes. So off to the wiki.

Rustracer: a PBR glTF 2.0 renderer based on Vulkan ray-tracing, written in Rust.

I've found glTF ( https://www.khronos.org/gltf/ ) to be quite simple. The entire format is encompassed in something like a dozen entity types. Nice visual overview here:

Do yourself a favor and learn about making glFT files. That's the format they're using internally. One file, with everything self contained plus more advanced shader features than OBJ.

Looks like a GLTF file. https://www.khronos.org/gltf/

There are no standard 3d formats at the moment that you can use and view in VR with the same ease as you could a png/jpeg on a desktop, VR is still very much based around full apps with their own proprietary formats. But glTF/glb at least can be imported with reasonable ease into many different places, e.g. both the WMR and Oculus home environments have importer for them.

- Exporting as .obj might be a bit of a poor/outdated choice, please check gltf

hmm. never heard of GLTF. A quick look on their site shows max/maya/houdini/blender/C4D so thats good. It seems to be roylty free. Is it open source? Is that something I should be looking for?

Thank you for the response. The subreddit /glTF is basically dead because no one can post without moderator approval and the moderator has been inactive for the past 3 years. Can you please let me know what the "other reasons" are why you will not approve my request? I work for The Khronos Group who created and maintains glTF. Please see www.khronos.org/gltf for more information. Thank you for your reconsideration.

> You don't need to download any dependencies such as plantUML or Graphviz, which is what most of the tools out there require and what was also my motivation to start this project. go-uml is using a 2D graphics engine written 100% in Go https://github.com/fogleman/gg

So no, this is not a solution for these requirements.

I really like the [fogleman/gg](https://github.com/fogleman/gg) package for image manipulation, it is pure Go and has many functions to draw and manipulate images.

you can try something like: https://github.com/fogleman/gg to create such images from templates

I've always used the GG library for my image processing needs, and I've heard of libvips somewhere before (likely from the Node.js world) but didn't know it had a Go port/wrapper. :) I'll definitely check that out as well

what library are you using? I recommend this one.

Mainly, the standard library and my favorite gg.

Have you been hit by https://github.com/fogleman/gg/issues/85 when writing your book?

It does relatively little, and that's the point! It works really well when you combine it with other packages; I find it plays very well with fogleman/gg, but your objectives may differ. The dev is very responsive and helpful (even if I don't understand their tweets).

That piece of code makes all the magic. With the help of Fogleman library manipulating images in Go is a breeze. Let's check what this is doing:

The base image package doesn't have text rendering functions. It would probably be easier to use a higher level library like https://github.com/fogleman/gg
