klartraum

Klartraum will be a real-time neural rendering engine build on top of vulkan.

Status: No neural rendering yet, still setting up the vulkan scaffold 😊

example

#include <iostream>

#include "klartraum/glfw_frontend.hpp"

#include "klartraum/draw_basics.hpp"
#include "klartraum/vulkan_gaussian_splatting.hpp"
#include "klartraum/interface_camera_orbit.hpp"

int main() {
    std::cout << "Wake up, dreamer!" << std::endl;

    klartraum::GlfwFrontend frontend;

    auto& core = frontend.getKlartraumCore();

    std::shared_ptr<klartraum::DrawBasics> axes =
        std::make_shared<klartraum::DrawBasics>(klartraum::DrawBasicsType::Axes);

    core.addDrawComponent(axes);

    std::string spzFile = "data/hornedlizard.spz";
    std::shared_ptr<klartraum::VulkanGaussianSplatting> splatting =
        std::make_shared<klartraum::VulkanGaussianSplatting>(spzFile);

    core.addDrawComponent(splatting);

    std::shared_ptr<klartraum::InterfaceCamera> cameraOrbit =
        std::make_shared<klartraum::InterfaceCameraOrbit>();

    core.setInterfaceCamera(cameraOrbit);

    frontend.loop();

    return 0;
}

Build

Prerequisites

THIS SECTIONS NEEDS A REWORK!

Building needs a development build of python.

Build Python for Windows Development

To be able to build with Visual Studio 17 2022, python needs to be build from scratch.

Follow the instructions provided in the Python Developer's Guide. This boils down to:

1. Clone the Python repository:

   cd 3rdparty
   git clone https://github.com/python/cpython.git
   git checkout v3.12.8

2. Navigate to the PCbuild directory and run the build script:

   PCbuild\build.bat -c Debug

3. Open the solution file (.sln) in Visual Studio and compile the project.
