enigma-3d

enigma-3d is my first attempt to do a little graphics API and game engine for Rust. Please be aware that I'm not a professional graphics programmer, so the code is most likely butchering some conventions. I also don't take care of performance at the moment. That said, I have the following features working:

Feature List:

• Model loading from GLTF and OBJ
• Opaque and Transparent rendering
• Material, Shader, Shape, Object Abstractions
• PBR Shading
• 3 step customizable Render pipeline: Vertex -> Geometry -> Fragment
• Texturing, Normals and Vertex Colors
• up to 4 point lights per object
• one ambient light
• a Camera
• a simple Event system to inject functions and Keyboard presses and KeyCode modifiers into the EventLoop. Atm events get processed one by one in sequence
• a simple Update system to inject functions into the update loop. Atm, the functions get processes one by one in sequence
• Screen to World positions, including a selection system
• Postprocessing
• Skybox and Sky reflections
• egui integration for a simple UI
• loading resources from the include_bytes! and include_str! macro to include them in the built application
• adding and carrying an arbitrary amount of data within the AppState
• serialize currently loaded AppState to json and inject serialized AppState into running one.
• Optimization: Textures are cached
• Optimization: Materials are shared in between Objects and managed via the AppState
• Optimisation: Cloned Objects are batched into one Draw Call via GPU Instancing

How to Install and Run:

Installing the Library in its latest release is quite straight forward, you should be able to just run cargo add enigma-3d. from there, you have access to the library for your codebase. The current release should include most of the base features, but it might be a little outdated regarding optimization. I have enough for another release soon.

When it comes to running the examples they are hidden behind a feature flag due to its size, which would bloat the package. After cloning the repository onto your machine, running cargo run --example=engine --features=example or cargo run --example=chessboard --features=example should to the trick. Cargo should take care of all the dependencies for you.

The Chessboard Example The Chessboard Example with a Geometry Grass shader for the ground and a Tree wind shader PBR Bloom postprocess and transparent objects Some more postprocessing in form of a black and white shader and a red outline instead of a black one

Example Game:

A first little game, developed with enigma, can be found here: https://github.com/JeremiasMeister/enigma-flappy-bird keep in mind, it was originally developed with an older version of enigma-3d and will most likely not compile anymore. But you can always checkout the built release for windows

engine.rs example, main function:

The API is quite straightforward and easy to use; see the example below.

fn main() {
    // create an enigma eventloop and appstate
    let event_loop = enigma_3d::EventLoop::new("Enigma 3D Renderer Window", 1080, 720);
    let mut app_state = enigma_3d::AppState::new();

    // set the icon from the resources
    event_loop.set_icon_from_resource(resources::icon());

    // some default event setups like e.g. selection
    enigma_3d::init_default(&mut app_state);

    // create a material and assign the UV checker texture from resources
    let mut material = enigma_3d::material::Material::lit_pbr(event_loop.get_display_clone(), false);
    material.set_texture_from_resource(resources::uv_checker(), enigma_3d::material::TextureType::Albedo);
    material.set_name("opaque_mat");

    let mut transparent_material = enigma_3d::material::Material::lit_pbr(event_loop.get_display_clone(), true);
    transparent_material.set_transparency_strength(0.2);
    transparent_material.set_texture_from_resource(resources::uv_checker(), enigma_3d::material::TextureType::Albedo);
    transparent_material.set_name("transparent_mat");


    // create an object, and load the Suzanne model from resources
    let mut object = Object::load_from_gltf_resource(resources::suzanne());

    // set the material to the suzan object to the first shape (submesh) slot
    object.add_material(material.uuid);
    object.get_shapes_mut()[0].set_material_from_object_list(0);

    // set the name and position of the object
    object.name = "Suzanne".to_string();
    object.transform.set_position([0.0, 0.0, -2.0]);

    // adding the object to the app state
    app_state.add_object(object);

    //also add materials to appstate
    app_state.add_material(material);
    app_state.add_material(transparent_material);

    // create a bunch of lights
    let light1 = enigma_3d::light::Light::new([1.0, 1.0, 5.0], [0.0, 1.0, 0.0], 100.0, Some([1.0, 0.0, 0.0]), false);
    let light2 = enigma_3d::light::Light::new([5.0, 1.0, 1.0], [1.0, 0.0, 0.0], 100.0, None, false);
    let light3 = enigma_3d::light::Light::new([-5.0, 1.0, 1.0], [0.0, 0.0, 1.0], 100.0, None, false);
    let ambient_light = enigma_3d::light::Light::new([0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 1.0, 1.0], 0.1, None, false);

    // add the lights to the app state
    app_state.add_light(light1, enigma_3d::light::LightEmissionType::Source);
    app_state.add_light(light2, enigma_3d::light::LightEmissionType::Source);
    app_state.add_light(light3, enigma_3d::light::LightEmissionType::Source);
    app_state.add_light(ambient_light, enigma_3d::light::LightEmissionType::Ambient); // only one ambient light is supported atm

    // create and add a camera to the app state
    let camera = Camera::new(Some([0.0, 1.0, 1.0]), Some([20.0, 0.0, 0.0]), Some(90.0), Some(16. / 9.), Some(0.01), Some(1024.));
    app_state.set_camera(camera);

    // add events
    app_state.inject_event(
        event::EventCharacteristic::KeyPress(winit::event::VirtualKeyCode::A),
        Arc::new(rotate_left),
        None,
    );
    app_state.inject_event(

        Arc::new(reset),

    );

    // add update functions
    app_state.inject_update_function(Arc::new(hopping_objects));
    app_state.inject_update_function(Arc::new(print_data));

    // add post processing effects
    //app_state.add_post_process(Box::new(enigma::postprocessing::grayscale::GrayScale::new(&event_loop.display.clone())));
    app_state.add_post_process(Box::new(enigma_3d::postprocessing::bloom::Bloom::new(&event_loop.display.clone(), 0.9, 15)));
    app_state.add_post_process(Box::new(enigma_3d::postprocessing::edge::Edge::new(&event_loop.display.clone(), 0.8, [1.0, 0.0, 0.0])));

    //add one ui function to the app state. multiple ui functions can be added modularly
    app_state.inject_gui(Arc::new(enigma_ui_function));


    // add some arbitrary state data. This can be used to store any kind of data in the app state
    // game globals, or other data that needs to be shared between different parts of the application
