3D Game Shaders For Beginners

Building The Demo

Before you can try out the demo program, you'll have to build the example code first.

Dependencies

Before you can compile the example code, you'll need to install Panda3D for your platform. Panda3D is available for Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Linux

Start by installing the Panda3D SDK for your distribution.

Make sure to locate where the Panda3D headers and libraries are. The headers and libraries are most likely in /usr/include/panda3d/ and /usr/lib/panda3d/ respectively.

Next clone this repository and change directory into it.

git clone https://github.com/lettier/3d-game-shaders-for-beginners.git
cd 3d-game-shaders-for-beginners/demonstration

Now compile the source code into an object file.

g++ \
  -c src/main.cxx \
  -o 3d-game-shaders-for-beginners.o \
  -std=gnu++11 \
  -O2 \
  -I/path/to/python/include/ \
  -I/path/to/panda3d/include/

With the object file created, create the executable by linking the object file to its dependencies.

g++ \
  3d-game-shaders-for-beginners.o \
  -o 3d-game-shaders-for-beginners \
  -L/path/to/panda3d/lib \
  -lp3framework \
  -lpanda \
  -lpandafx \
  -lpandaexpress \
  -lpandaphysics \
  -lp3dtoolconfig \
  -lp3dtool \
  -lpthread

For more help, see the Panda3D manual.

Mac

Start by installing the Panda3D SDK for Mac.

Make sure to locate where the Panda3D headers and libraries are.

Next clone this repository and change directory into it.

git clone https://github.com/lettier/3d-game-shaders-for-beginners.git
cd 3d-game-shaders-for-beginners

Now compile the source code into an object file. You'll have to find where the Python 2.7 and Panda3D include directories are.

clang++ \
  -c main.cxx \
  -o 3d-game-shaders-for-beginners.o \
  -std=gnu++11 \
  -g \
  -O2 \
  -I/path/to/python/include/ \
  -I/path/to/panda3d/include/

With the object file created, create the executable by linking the object file to its dependencies. You'll need to track down where the Panda3D libraries are located.

clang++ \
  3d-game-shaders-for-beginners.o \
  -o 3d-game-shaders-for-beginners \
  -L/path/to/panda3d/lib \
  -lp3framework \
  -lpanda \
  -lpandafx \
  -lpandaexpress \
  -lpandaphysics \
  -lp3dtoolconfig \
  -lp3dtool \
  -lpthread

For more help, see the Panda3D manual.

Windows

Start by installing the Panda3D SDK for Windows.

Make sure to locate where the Panda3D headers and libraries are.

Next clone this repository and change directory into it.

git clone https://github.com/lettier/3d-game-shaders-for-beginners.git
cd 3d-game-shaders-for-beginners
