Modern OpenGL - Deferred Rending

Modern OpenGL deferred rendering example

This little project shall contain the tools to produce the following techniques and effects:

• deferred rendering
• deferred lighting
• shadows
• bloom

Requirements

Development is done with

• Conan 2.x
• CMake 3.27.x
• Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition

Building

Conan install for debug and release build types

conan install . --build=missing --settings=build_type=Debug && conan install . --build=missing --settings=build_type=Release

CMake project generation

cmake --preset conan-default

For Windows development, open the solution file (.sln) located in the newly created build directory. For Linux development, note that the build directory now should contain a Debug and Release directory which can be build via build command separately.

Troubleshooting

In case of issues try (in no particular order)

• Removing the build directory and the CMakeUserPresets.json
• Cleaning the repository via git clean -xfd
• Deleting and cloning the whole repository again
• Ensure your cmake version is at least 3.27.0
• Ensure your conan profile is generated in case of a new conan installation
• Ensure your conan is at version 2.x
• Ensure your conan profile is set to C++ standard 17 or higher
