Note: CMake MODELS_DOWNLOAD_DISABLED is ON by default so you don't get stuck in cmake downloading the heavy 3D models that this demo can use. Unchecking it will download 8 models in a local folder called downloaded_resources. I could take time...

NVIDIA commandlist extension over bk3d models

This sample shows how to use NVIDIA command-list extension over basic scenes

The sample uses a pre-baked binary format (bk3d) for various models coming from CAD applications.

The main file 'gl_commandlist_bk3d_models.cpp' shows how to setup command-list on simple geometries such as the floor grid and the target cross. It is a good starting point to understand how to use command-lists

The second file 'gl_commandlist_bk3d.cpp' contains everything related to bk3d: it will load, setup and display data coming from this file format.

This samples can either run in MSAA mode but also in 'supersampled' mode (see NVFBOBox)

##Command-line arguments

-v \n-m
-c 0 or 1 : use command-lists
-b 0 or 1 : use bindless when no cmd list
-o 0 or 1 : display meshes
-g 0 or 1 : display grid
-s 0 or 1 : stats
-a 0 or 1 : animate camera
-i : use a config file to load models and setup camera animation
-d 0 or 1 : debug stuff (ui)
-m : load a specific model
: load a specific model
-q : MSAA
-r <ss_val> : supersampling (1.0,1.5,2.0)

###Examples on arguments

load a scene and start animation:

gl_commandlist_bk3d_models.exe -i scene_car.txt -a 1

(Note: CMake MODELS_DOWNLOAD_DISABLED should be OFF and you should have downloaded the other models thanks to cmake if you want scene_car.txt and scene_ds_models.txt to work...)

load a bk3d file:

gl_commandlist_bk3d_models.exe -m SubMarine_134.bk3d.gz

gl_commandlist_bk3d_models.exe SubMarine_134.bk3d.gz

##in app toggles

'h': help
space: toggles continuous rendering
'c': use Commandlist
'e': use Commandlist EMULATION
'l': use glCallCommandListNV
'o': toggles object display
'g': toggles grid display
's': toggle stats
'a': animate camera

##Scene from external file (-i) This is a simple description made of:

a list of bk3d objects to load
a list of position-target coordinates for the camera animation

<num of filenames>
file0.bk3d.gz
posX posY posZ scale
file1.bk3d.gz
posX posY posZ scale
...
<num of camera coords>
posX posY posZ TargetX TargetY TargetZ Time_to_wait
posX posY posZ TargetX TargetY TargetZ Time_to_wait
...
