A DirectX 12 repo you can use to get started with your own renderer.

Setup

First install:

Then type the following in your terminal.

# 🐑 Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/alaingalvan/directx12-seed --recurse-submodules

# 💿 go inside the folder
cd directx12-seed

# 👯 If you forget to `recurse-submodules` you can always run:
git submodule update --init

# 👷 Make a build folder
mkdir build
cd build

# 🖼️ To build your Visual Studio solution on Windows x64
cmake .. -A x64

# 🔨 Build project
cmake --build .

Refer to this blog post on designing C++ libraries and apps for more details on CMake, Git Submodules, etc.

Project Layout

As your project becomes more complex, you'll want to separate files and organize your application to something more akin to a game or renderer, check out this post on game engine architecture and this one on real time renderer architecture for more details.

  • Assets not included in 'cmake-build-debug/bin/assets'

    Assets not included in 'cmake-build-debug/bin/assets'

    Built fine, but trying to execute the program an exception was thrown while loading the assets. Some simple debugging directed me to missing assets in the cmake-build-debug/bin/assets.

    I resolved it by moving the files from 'directx12-seed/assets' to 'cmake-build-debug/bin/assets'.

    I followed the steps per the readme. Maybe something was preventing the files to be moved during build? Still learning a lot of this stuff so I'm not exactly sure.. Just thought I'd leave this here in case anyone else had same issue.

    BTW, love the repo. Great place to start learning!
