Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Software Renderer
With this project, I am trying to implement the GPU rendering pipeline in software to understand the steps deeper. This project can be used for learning purposes (I try to keep the code clean).
Features
- Indexed triangle rasterization
- Depth testing
- Blending
- Texture sampling with clamp, repeat, and mirror address modes
- Custom shader support (by extending the Shader class)
- Point and linear texture filtering
Usage
Just include the headers from the sr directory in your project and build. You can check the code in the demo directory and build the demo project to see how to use the library.
Showcase
The demonstration app is in the demo directory and it can be built for macOS/iOS/tvOS (Xcode project or GNU makefile), Linux/Solaris/BSD (GNU makefile), Windows (Visual Studio project or GNU makefile) and Haiku (GNU makefile). This is a sample output of the renderer (a box with one side transparent and another colored):
