This is a shader-based software renderer written from scratch in C89 with minimal dependencies, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Pre-built binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux are available for download from the Releases page. To build the software renderer from source, a C89 compiler and development files for your window system are required. Install Visual Studio with C++ support and run build_win32.bat. If the software renderer is launched without arguments, one of the available scenes will be chosen randomly. To display a specific scene, additional arguments should be supplied. Metallic-roughness workflow. Specular-glossiness workflow. Image-based lighting (IBL). Orbital camera controls. PBR material inspector. Perspective correct interpolation. Depth testing. Alpha testing. Alpha blending. Cubemapped skybox. Skeletal animation. Tangent space normal mapping.

Features

  • Perspective correct interpolation
  • Tangent space normal mapping
  • Blinn–Phong reflection model
  • Homogeneous clipping

A low-code dashboard makes monitoring intuitive for any admin, while scripting and custom sensors give experts full control.

You shouldn't have to choose between a monitoring tool that's easy to use and one that's powerful enough for a complex environment. PRTG's low-code interface lets any admin build dashboards, set alerts and monitor devices without scripting, while custom sensors and full API access are there when your team needs deeper control. One platform, no compromise. Download a free 30-day trial now.
