in this project I wnat to explore a a few techniques to draw smooth curves and shapes from vector graphics in zwero limited texture format like sdf with a final goal of creating a way to create an assset exporter that can be used in engines like unity or godot. I'll try documenting in a journal like fashion.
as initial decisions i want to use:
- cpp as the main programming language,
- opengl as a rendering backend,
- imgui for gui library,
- git for version controll,
- visual studio for solution management.
That is a mix of subjects that I feel confortable in and subjects that I want to improve.
my goal for the first session is to be able to compile a base application for imgui and show a dynamicly create texture inside a window, that is something that i was able to acomplish before, but in an unstructured way, today i want to experiment with structuring my code in a maintanable form
the initial goal was achieved, making sure that the project could change directories and still compile, and liking and including all dependencies was kind of a challange but it was a success, I did not bother to for now I'll try to organize the files only based on visual studio filters.
I ended up the day implementing a simple formula for a circle SDF and pushing to GitHUB
