3D extensions and examples for the awesome MonoGame framework.
The goal of this project is to provide useful additions for doing 3D work on top of the MonoGame framework, in the form of sample code and tutorials for:
- Dynamic loading of 3D scenes.
- Phong shader.
- Importing scenes from Blender.
- Integrating custom shaders (especially from ShaderToy).
No attempt to change the MonoGame sources will be made.
A dystopian scene using a number of modified publically available 3D models (see the credits section).
Use WASD to move around the scene (WIP).
The sample project was done using Visual Studio 2022 on Windows, targeting Desktop GL (i.e. platform agnostic). In case you get a build error mentioning ./config/dotnet-tools.json file, open it in Explorer and check the "Unblock" option. Please chime in in case of other issues.
In case the build fails because of the missing AssimpNet reference, invoke InstallAssimpNet.bat.
- Improve the Phong shader (directional and spot lights, transparency), better Blender WYSIWYG.
- Finalize the
Materialclass. - Texture manager for dynamically loaded textures.
- Investigate F# scripting possibilites.
- Blender camera import.
- Animation.
Since this project is in active development, in case you want to contribute and to avoid work duplication, please read the TODOs and open a discussion item with the changes you'd like to add.
Apart from MonoGame v3.8.2, the AssimpNet library v4.1.0 is used for loading 3D scenes.
