Qtk

Practice project for learning about using OpenGL in Qt widget applications. Model loader using Assimp within a Qt widget application.

You can import your own models within mainwdget.cpp, inside the MainWidget::initObjects() function. I've commented throughout the code there to explain which model or example I'm modifying. Rotations and translations happen in MainWidget::update(), to get textures loading on models look into material files and see some examples in the resources/models/ directory. For more in-depth examples, see scene.h and scene.cpp

Can be built with cmake manually or using Qt Creator. For the build to be successful, I've found through testing on VMs that the system requires around 6GB of RAM. This is mostly due to the large .obj files that are built into the project using Qt Resource System

This project has been ported to Qt6, which is not yet available in Ubuntu apt repositories. To run this project, you will need to install Qt6 Open Source Binaries for your system. Be sure to take note of the Qt6 installation directory, as we will need it to correctly set our CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH in the next steps.

Once Qt6 is installed, to build and run qtk on Ubuntu -

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install freeglut3-dev libassimp-dev cmake build-essential git
git clone https://gitlab.com/shaunrd0/qtk
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/Qt/6.3.1/gcc_64 -S qtk/ -B qtk/build/ && cmake --build qtk/build/ -j $(nprocs)
./qtk/build/qtk

You can fly around the scene if you hold the right mouse button and use WASD. If you see a small triangle floating by a model it represents the light source that is being used for the shader rendering the model. These appear on models using phong, specular, and diffuse lighting techniques.
