MonkStudio Engine

New Features

View:

• Inspector:
  Shows the properties from the selected object, those can be: (also opens with Alt + 3)
  Changing the name of the object.
  Local Transformation: The user can see and change the Position, Rotation and scale of the selected object by scrolling or writing the variables.
  Mesh Renderer: Checkbox to display Vertex Normals, AABB and OOBB, of the selected mesh, drop any imported mesh. Also can delete the component.
  Material: User can activate/desactivate the texture, see the path and size of the image, and set a default texure over it, drop any imported texture. Also can delete the component.

Loading FBX and textures

User can drag and drop .fbx files onto the engine to load them.
The same can be done with .png .dds and .jpgs to load them as texutre for the selected object.

Camera

The editor has 2 windows one with the scene and another captured from a
gameobject with a camera component, each one has its own
framebuffer and the user can visualize both at the same time.
Camera is a component.
All meshes use a bounding volume (AABB) and can be discarted using Frustum Culling.
User can activate AABB and OBB on the inspector.

Custome File Format

Models, meshes and textures are saved to our own format under “Library” folder.

Resource Manager

• There is an “Assets” window that shows all user assets * it can be a simple tree
  viewer
• The user can drop/import new files. Assets window reacts properly
• Asset files can be deleted through the window and /Library entries are removed
• Upon start, all resources not managed inside Assets are generated in Library *
  /Library folder should be regenerated from /Assets + meta content
• All resources use reference counting (e.g. a texture / mesh is only once in memory
  regardless of how many gameobject use it). This requires this process to be
  visualized in the editor.

Additional Funcionalities
