What is this ?

This is a precompiled version with everything it needs to run the executable. It was compiled for Windows 10 X86-64

If you're a student looking for guidance, jump to Credits section ;-)

How to use ?

Simply drop a .obj file directly onto Scop.exe, or run Scop.exe through shell with the model's path as first argument as such :

./Scop ./some/model/path.obj

Key Binding

• [⇦ ⇨ ⇧ ⇩] Orbit camera around model
• [Keypad -/+] Zoom out/in
• [LCtrl + [Keypad +/-]] Scale up/down model
• [Page Up/Down] Move camera up/down
• [Left Shift] Speed up movements/scaling
• [Space] Cycle through environments
• [LAlt + Enter] Switch fullscreen
• [S] Switch stupidity on/off
• [Q] Cycle through quality levels

Features

• This program features real time Physically based rendering for .obj models.
• It features image based lighting using irradiance maps and a custom BRDF Lookup Table (replaceable).
• It's inspired by Unreal Engine 4 workflow and allows for metallic, roughness and specular (F0).
• The Specular channel on the material allows for more various materials, such as lackered plastics for instance.
• You can specify an heigth texture to enable steep parallax mapping.
• Here, Specular channels are slightly different from Blinn-Phong's specular channel, it influences the material's reflectivity and behavior regarding light as it is used as a precomputed F0 value. A plastic material with a Specular of vec3(1, 1, 1) will have a behavior close to metallic materials, but will have a diffuse channel, unlike metallic material. In order to have "normal" plastic, it is recommended to either leave Ni and Ks empty, use Ni 1.5 or Ks 0.04 0.04 0.04
• Extra values have been added to mtl files, allowing for physically based materials :

Nr [float] //roughness value
Nm [float] //metallic value
Np [float] //parallax factor
map_Nr [./relative/path] //roughness map
map_Nm [./relative/path] //metallic map
map_Nh [./relative/path] //heigth map
map_No [./relative/path] //ambient occlusion map (1 == full occlusion)
