Flex Engine

MIT licensed

Flex Engine is my personal rendering engine which currently supports Vulkan and OpenGL. It was started in February 2017 as a way for me to better understand how graphics engines work.

Notable Features

  • Support for both Vulkan and OpenGL, switchable at runtime
  • Physically Based Rendering (PBR)
  • Image Based lighting (IBL)
  • Irradiance map generation
  • Reflection probes
  • Post-processing stage

Planned Features

  • Mesh animation
  • Cascading shadow maps
  • ...

GBuffer (top-left to bottom-right): position, albedo, normal, final image, depth, metallic, AO, roughness

Building Flex (Windows-only)

If you want to build Flex Engine on your own system, follow these steps. You an always download the latest release binaries here if that's what you're after.

Requirements:

  • Visual Studio 2015
  • GENie

Steps

  1. Recursively clone the repository using your method of choice (SourceTree, git bash, ...)
  2. Ensure GENie is either on your PATH, or genie.exe is in scripts/
  3. Navigate a command prompt to scripts/ and run genie vs2015
  4. Navigate a command prompt to FlexEngine/dependencies/assimp/ and run cmake . to generate the necessary config.h file. You do not need to build generated .sln
  5. Open build/FlexEngine.sln
  6. Build and run!

Dependencies

Flex Engine uses the following open-source libraries:

  • Assimp - Model loading
  • ImGui - User interface
  • stb - Image loading
  • glfw - Window creation, input handling
  • glad - OpenGL profile loading
  • glm - Math operations

License

Flex engine is released as open source under The MIT License. See license.md for details.
