This is an enhanced version of https://github.com/thodan/bop_renderer that supports per-vertex texture coordinates and enables rendering of textured meshes.
A simple C++ renderer with Python bindings utilized in the BOP Toolkit.
The renderer is based on OSMesa, an off-screen rendering library, which makes it suitable for rendering on servers.
The BOP Renderer depends on OSMesa which requires LLVM. You can use the provided script osmesa-install/osmesa-install.sh to install these libraries (it is a modified version of osmesa-install -- the changes are documented in osmesa-install/README.md).
The installation locations can be set by osmesaprefix and llvmprefix in osmesa-install.sh. If you do not want to install LLVM, set buildllvm to 0 in osmesa-install.sh.
To install the libraries, run (from folder bop_renderer):
mkdir osmesa-install/build
cd osmesa-install/build
../osmesa-install.sh
You will also need to install yaml-cpp.
Moreover, the BOP Renderer depends on the following header-only libraries, which are provided in the folder 3rd (no installation is required for these libraries): glm, png++, pybind11, RPly.
- If necessary, modify library paths in CMakeLists.txt.
- Compile by:
mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release; make
Note: The BOP Renderer was tested on Linux only.
