Practice project for learning about using OpenGL in Qt widget applications.
Model loader using [Assimp](https://assimp.org/) within a Qt widget application.
You can import your own models within `mainwdget.cpp`, inside the
`MainWidget::initObjects()` function. I've commented throughout the code there
to explain which model or example I'm modifying. Rotations and translations
happen in `MainWidget::update()`, to get textures loading on models look into
[material files](http://www.paulbourke.net/dataformats/mtl/) and see some
examples in the `resources/models/` directory. For more in-depth examples, see
`scene.h` and `scene.cpp`
You can import your own models within `app/examplescene.cpp`, inside the
`ExampleScene::init()` function. Rotations and translations
happen in `ExampleScene::update()`.
Can be built with cmake manually or using
[Qt Creator](https://github.com/qt-creator/qt-creator).
For the build to be successful, I've found through testing on VMs that the system requires around 6GB of RAM.
This is mostly due to the large .obj files that are built into the project using [Qt Resource System](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/resources.html)

### Building
Builds are configured for CLion or [Qt Creator](https://github.com/qt-creator/qt-creator).
Simply open the root `CMakeLists.txt` with either of these editors and configurations will be loaded.
This project has been ported to Qt6, which is not yet available in Ubuntu apt repositories.
To run this project, you will *need* to install [Qt6 Open Source Binaries](https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer) for your system.

```
By default, the build will initialize Assimp as a git submodule and build from source.
We can turn this off by setting the `-DQTK_UPDATE_SUBMODULES=OFF` flag when running CMake.
This will greatly increase build speed, but we will need to make sure Assimp is available either system-wide or using a custom `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`.
Using `-DQTK_UPDATE_SUBMODULES=ON` supports providing assimp on cross-platform builds (Windows / Mac / Linux) and may be easier to configure.
```bash
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install freeglut3-dev libassimp-dev cmake build-essential git
git clone https://gitlab.com/shaunrd0/qtk
cmake -DQTK_UPDATE_SUBMODULES=OFF -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/Qt/6.3.1/gcc_64 -S qtk/ -B qtk/build/ && cmake --build qtk/build/ -j $(nproc --ignore=2) --target qtk-main

### QtkWidget in Qt Creator
The `QtkWidget` class is exported as a shared library for use in Qt Creator's design mode.
We can add more QtkWidgets to view and render the scene from multiple perspectives.
There is still some work to be done here, so there isn't a builtin way to add an additional view within the application.
![](resources/qtk-views.png)
After building Qtk, we can drag and drop an `OpenGL Widget` onto the `mainwindow.ui`.
Then right-click the new OpenGLWidget and `Promote To->QtkWidget` to add a second view.
![](resources/qtk-views-setup.png)
If we demote or delete all widgets in `mainwindow.ui` and rebuild the project, Qt Creator will drop `QtkWidget` from the list of possible promoted widgets.
Add an `OpenGL Widget` to the UI, right-click it and navigate to `Promote Widget...` and enter the information below.
![](resources/qtk-reference.png)
After you fill out the `New Promoted Class` form, click `Add` *and*`Promote`, then rebuild.
After following these steps Qt Creator will list `QtkWidget` as an option to promote `OpenGL Widgets` again.
