Forge is a suite of artist tools for creating 2d/3d content. The tools are developed with an emphasis on clarity and simplicity.
Popular content creation applications are monolithic, they all tend to do a large number of things rather poorly. This project aims to provide individual, purpose-built tools that each solve a particular problem well.
Forge is the name of both the overarching project, and the foundation library that Forge tools are built upon. The library provides a common framework for programmers to develop digital content creation tools (sometimes abbreviated as DCCs). It includes basic support for: linear algebra; geometry processing; shading and rendering; and so on. It also provides a fundamental module for building responsive graphical user interfaces.
Forge software is, and always will be, committed to being free. Read the docs for more information.
#Overview
This repo is the foundation library for Forge tools.
#Objectives
- Lightweight
- GPU-accelerated
- Extensibility via plug-ins
- Combine procedural and interactive (immediate) workflows
- Support for industry-standard interchange/file formats
- ISO C11
- POSIX compliance
#Build
Forge projects build using Meson.
#Preprocessor defines
FG_REAL_64 — Set fg_real to double (64-bit). This subsequently
switches the fg_vecn/fg_matn coefficient types and the types used by various
math operations.
#Contributing
Patches should be submitted to forge-devel. Please read through the Style Guide and Contribution Guide prior to submission.
