aardvark-platform/aardvark-concepts

This system is a 3D rendering and scene graph framework built on the Aardvark ecosystem, designed to facilitate high-performance graphics applications. It provides core capabilities for managing adaptive data flows, dynamic scene graphs with Level of Detail support, and OpenGL/Vulkan rendering pipelines. The codebase serves as both a functional library and a demonstration suite, showcasing modern .NET integration through C\# and F\# examples that handle model loading, camera control, and real-time transformation updates.

A new demo application has been added to the repository that renders a 3D model of an aardvark within an OpenGL window. The application loads the model using Assimp, applies a checkerboard floor texture, and implements keyboard-controlled movement (forward, backward, left, right) that updates the model's transformation in real-time. The camera dynamically tracks the model's position, and the scene is rendered using Aardvark's scene graph and rendering pipeline.

Added a new 3D model of an aardvark, including the Wavefront OBJ mesh, MTL material definitions, and a credit README, along with a corresponding SVG logo file for the aardvark brand.

data · high confidence

A new Level of Detail (LOD) node type has been introduced to the scene graph, allowing users to switch between low and high-quality rendering representations based on camera position and bounding box proximity. This feature enables performance optimization by rendering simplified geometry when objects are distant and detailed geometry when they are close.

WalkThroughSceneGraph · high confidence

The WalkThroughSceneGraph demo has been expanded to include new F\# and C\# examples demonstrating the adaptive data-flow system and scene graph concepts. New files added include AdaptiveDSLApproach.fs (showcasing the adaptive DSL for computations), Concept.fs (demonstrating attribute grammar-based scene graph semantics), DynamicPointCloud.fs (interactive point cloud rendering), DynamicSceneData.fs (dynamic scene data with camera control), and a new C\# IncrementalSystem demo. The main Program.fs now acts as a launcher for these specific demos. Additionally, the demo's dependencies have been updated to include Aardvark.SceneGraph.Assimp and Aardvark.PixImage.ImageSharp.

The rendering samples have been restructured to use the new \Aardvark.Application.Slim\ API instead of the legacy \WinForms\ or \Base\ application wrappers, providing a more lightweight and consistent entry point for OpenGL and Vulkan rendering. Internally, the codebase has migrated from the older \Mod\-based reactive primitives to \AVal\ (from \FSharp.Data.Adaptive\ and \CSharp.Data.Adaptive\), updating scene graph transformations, camera controls, and frustum calculations to use the modern adaptive value system. Additionally, the C\# example now defaults to an \OpenGlApplication\ and the F\# sample explicitly initializes \Aardvark.Init\ while adopting the \Slim\ windowing model.

The project's build system has been updated to remove the custom \build.fsx\ script and rely on standard .NET tooling. The \build.cmd\ and \build.sh\ scripts now use \dotnet tool restore\ and \dotnet paket restore\ for dependency management, followed by \dotnet build\ to compile the solution, replacing the previous FAKE-based execution flow. Additionally, the \.gitignore\ has been updated to exclude \.fake\ and \.idea\ directories, and the README has been refreshed to reflect the new build instructions and updated repository context.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The legacy .NET Framework project structure for PlainAardvarkRendering has been cleaned up by removing the App.config and AssemblyInfo.cs files. This eliminates the explicit runtime version declaration and the manual assembly metadata (such as versioning and COM visibility settings) that were previously managed through these files, aligning the project with modern .NET project styles where such configurations are typically handled elsewhere or via SDK defaults.

src/PlainAardvarkRendering-NetFramework · high confidence

The Walkthrough solution has been reorganized to include new demonstration projects: IncrementalSystem-CSharp, MovingAardvark, and PlainAardvarkRendering-CSharp. The legacy PlainAardvarkRendering-NetFramework project has been removed, and the remaining PlainAardvarkRendering project has been converted from C\# to F\#. Additionally, the solution file now targets Visual Studio 18 (version 18.0.11205.157) instead of Visual Studio 15.

src · high confidence

The FunctionalFrontend model definition now uses the \Adaptify\ namespace instead of \System\ and \Aardvark.Base\, and the \Model\ record's domain attribute has been changed from \\[\<DomainType\>\]\ to \\[\<ModelType\>\]\. This reflects an internal shift in how the frontend model is typed and processed, likely aligning with updated library conventions or a migration to a different modeling framework.

FunctionalFrontend · medium confidence

The project has been upgraded from .NET Core 2.0 and .NET Framework 4.7.1 to .NET 8.0, with the legacy \PlainAardvarkRendering-NetFramework\ project removed. All Aardvark libraries have been updated from version 4.x to 5.x (e.g., \Aardvark.Base\ 4.2.4→5.3.19, \Aardvark.Application\ 4.6.0→5.6.0), and \Aardium\ has been upgraded from 1.0.18 to 2.1.2. The dependency management has shifted to \paket\ with auto-detection, introducing new packages like \FSharp.Data.Adaptive\, \CSharp.Data.Adaptive\, and \Aardvark.PixImage.ImageSharp\.
