aardvark-platform/aardvark.templates

This system is a collection of F\# project templates for the Aardvark rendering and UI framework, designed to scaffold applications with ImGui interfaces and Aardium-based web views. It provides starter projects for both rendering and UI development, supporting OpenGL and Vulkan backends on .NET 8 and F\# 8. The templates utilize Paket for dependency management and include cross-platform build scripts to ensure consistent setup across Windows, Linux, and macOS environments.

The templates/Aardvark.Template.UI.FSharp location now provides a complete starter project for F\#-based Aardvark UI applications. It includes a solution file, a model defining a toggleable Box/Sphere primitive, and an application view that renders the selected geometry with simple lighting and a free-fly camera controller. The entry point initializes Aardium, starts a local web server on port 4321, and launches the Aardium window, supporting both OpenGL and Vulkan backends via conditional compilation. Debug logging is enabled in DEBUG builds.

A new F\# project template has been added for rendering applications, featuring an interactive ImGui settings window (e.g., background color editing) overlaid on a colored quad scene. The template supports selecting between OpenGL and Vulkan backends via preprocessor directives and includes necessary dependencies such as Aardvark.Rendering.ImGui, Aardvark.Application.Slim, and Aardvark.SceneGraph.

This release addresses a build post-action issue affecting Linux and macOS environments and includes the addition of solution files to the project structure. The release notes also document the history of previous updates, including upgrades to Aardvark.Rendering and Aardvark.UI libraries and the migration to .NET 8.0 and .NET 6.0 targets in earlier versions.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The Aardvark rendering and UI project templates have been restructured to use Paket (version 9.0.2) for package management instead of previous methods. This change introduces \dotnet-tools.json\ configurations, updated \.gitignore\ files to exclude Paket-specific directories (such as \.paket\ and \paket-files\), and adds platform-specific build scripts (\build.cmd\ for Windows and \build.sh\ for Linux/macOS). The template configuration ensures that on non-Windows systems, the build script is made executable and run automatically after template instantiation, while Windows users are guided to run \build.cmd\.

The Aardvark templates have been updated to align with Aardvark v5, targeting .NET 8 and F\# 8.0. The rendering template now includes ImGui support via Aardvark.Rendering.ImGui 5.6, while the UI template integrates Aardvark.UI 5.7 and Aardium 3.0 for modern UI development. Package management has been standardized to use Paket, with dependency manifests explicitly defining versions for core libraries such as Aardvark.Base 5.3, Aardvark.Rendering 5.6, and FShade 5.7.
