Top 23 C++ Rendering Projects
-
Project mention: Ask HN: What books or courses do you know similar to "From Nand to Tetris"? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-24
Other people have mentioned ray-tracing in one weekend
If anyone is really interested in graphics I would also recommend TinyRenderer
https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki
This one is a CPU-based rasterizing renderer
Its good if you want to get a good understanding of what a GPU does underneath
-
bgfx
Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.
Project mention: The Ultimate Cross-Platform Rendering Engine? | /r/GraphicsProgramming | 2023-08-18BGFX: Pretty mature and easy to use with many backends.
-
InfluxDB
Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.
-
Project mention: Does anyone else agree that the links to the latest development version of Open3D don't work? | /r/cscareerquestions | 2023-07-10
I was going to file a bug about another issue, but I have to download the development version. This is why I want this solved quickly. None of the links seem to work: https://github.com/isl-org/Open3D/issues/6259

Project mention: What are the best textbooks/resources for learning graphics programming practically in 2023? | /r/GraphicsProgramming | 2023-07-06
Tiny raytracer and the related tiny series are pretty good implementations of certain popular rendering techniques, without the use of an API.

I know Rust, but after hitting my head against a wall trying to generate Rust bindings for a templated c++ library[1] I realized I should just write this part of my project in c++.
My current plan is to read through Stroustrup's A Tour of C++, then start working on my project. When I encounter issues I'll look the topic up in Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language.
I'm hoping someone with relevant experience can tell me if this is a decent plan, and if there's a better or faster way to learn enough C++ to write a small program that calls such a library.

Mergify
Updating dependencies is time-consuming.. Solutions like Dependabot or Renovate update but don't merge dependencies. You need to do it manually while it could be fully automated! Add a Merge Queue to your workflow and stop caring about PR management & merging. Try Mergify for free.

Project mention: [D] Have their been any attempts to create a programming language specifically for machine learning? | /r/MachineLearning | 2023-02-11
In the opposite direction from your question is a very interesting project, TinyNN all implemented as close to the metal as possible and very fast: https://github.com/NVlabs/tiny-cuda-nn
-
Project mention: Blazor United - When it ships it would be the most glorious way to do web with .NET | /r/programming | 2023-01-25
Aside from Blazor there's already some other projects like Yew (rust), seed (rust), asm-dom (C++) and vugu (Go) and more that have decent followings and activity. A lot more (especially managed languages) are waiting for some features to come online like wasm GC and host bindings (direct wasm access to browser apis which includes the DOM). It'll take a bit of time, but it'll get there eventually.

Project mention: Simple TCP stream library - equivalent of rust's std::net::TcpStream? | /r/cpp_questions | 2023-01-07
Hi. I'm a C++ newbie and want to use a simple, modern library to send over a network - specifically to use the tev image viewer's IPC protocol. I don't need anything fancy, just synchronous that I can feed arrays of bytes to. I looked briefly into asio but that seems too complicated for my needs.
-
StereoKit
An easy-to-use mixed reality library for building HoloLens and VR applications with C# and OpenXR!
-
SoftGLRender
Tiny C++ Software Renderer / Rasterizer, and implements OpenGL and Vulkan renderers for comparison
This is a really good example of a software rasteriser which is a good project to try https://github.com/keith2018/SoftGLRender

Project mention: Vulkan all the way: Transitioning to a modern low-level graphics API in academia | /r/programming | 2023-03-07
Sorry for late response! The one I like most is LibLava https://github.com/liblava/liblava I contributed a few features that it was missing for me, and a few other people have done the same, so it's somewhat battle tested. At least two people have used it in academic projects. I like that it gives you full access to the low level parts of Vulkan while still providing high level abstractions over a lot, especially the render loop. The biggest issue imo is lackluster documentation, but it's fairly well organized and readable source code. Build times are also pretty long due to its many dependencies.
