Methane Applications

Cross-platform graphics applications built with Methane Kit.

Tutorials

Start learning Methane Kit API with tutorial applications which are demonstrating different aspects of graphics rendering on simple examples using Methane Kit API in a cross-platform style.

Name / Link	Screenshot	Description
1. Hello Triangle		Colored triangle rendering in 130 lines of code.
2. Hello Cube		Colored cube rendering in 220 lines of code.
3. Textured Cube		Textured cube introduces buffers and textures usage along with program bindings.
4. Shadow Cube		Shadow cube introduces multi-pass rendering with render passes.
5. Typography		Typography demonstrates animated text rendering with dynamic font atlas updates using Methane UI.
6. Cube-Map Array		Cube-map array texturing along with sky-box rendering.
7. Parallel Rendering		Parallel rendering of the textured cube instances to the single render pass.
8. Console Compute		Conway's Game of Life implemented in Compute Shader and running in pure console application.

Common

Common applications source code beyond Methane Kit, used by multiple Tutorials to minimize code duplication.

• AppSettings - common application settings initialization helper;
• TextureLabeler - texture faces text labels renderer;
• Shaders/Primitives.hlsl - common shader pritimve functions.
