This sample demonstrates how to use Diligent Engine in a basic Android AR application.

This sample is designed to be a performance benchmark and is based on this demo developed by Intel. It renders 50,000 unique textured asteroids. Every asteroid is a combination of one of 1000 unique meshes and one of 10 unique textures. The sample uses original D3D11 and D3D12 native implementations, and adds implementations using Diligent Engine API to allow comparing performance of different rendering modes.

This project demonstrates integration of Diligent Engine with Unity.

Build and Run Instructions

Please refer to Build and Run Instructions section in the master repository's readme.

Command line options:

  • --mode, -m {d3d11|d3d12|vk|gl} - select rendering back-end (example: --mode d3d12, -m vk).
  • --width, -w value - set desired window width (example: --width 1024, -w 1280).
  • --height, -h value - set desired window height (example: --height 768, -h 1024).
  • --capture_path path - path to the folder where screen captures will be saved. Specifying this parameter enables screen capture (example: --capture_path .).
  • --capture_name name - screen capture file name. Specifying this parameter enables screen capture (example: --capture_name frame).
  • --capture_fps fps - recording fps when capturing frame sequence (example: --capture_fps 10). Default value: 15.
  • --capture_frames value - number of frames to capture after the app starts (example: --capture_frames 50).
  • --capture_format {jpg|png} - image file format (example: --capture_format jpg). Default value: jpg.
  • --capture_quality value - jpeg quality (example: --capture_quality 80). Default value: 95.
  • --capture_alpha value - when saving png, whether to write alpha channel (example: --capture_alpha 1). Default value: false.
  • --validation value - set validation level (example: --validation 1). Default value: 1 in debug build; 0 in release builds.
  • --adapter value - select GPU adapter, if there are more than one installed on the system (example: --adapter 1). Default value: 0.
  • --adapters_dialog value - whether to show adapters dialog (example: --adapters_dialog 0). Default value: 1.
  • --show_ui value - whether to show user interface (example: --show_ui 0). Default value: 1.
  • --golden_image_mode {none|capture|compare|compare_update} - golden image capture mode. Default value: none.
  • --golden_image_tolerance value - golden image comparison tolerance. Default value: 0.
  • --non_separable_progs value - force non-separable programs in GL

When image capture is enabled the following hot keys are available:

  • F2 starts frame capture recording.
  • F3 finishes frame capture recroding.
  • F4 saves single screenshot.

To record multiple frames after the app starts, use command line like this:

--mode d3d12 --capture_path . --capture_fps 15 --capture_name frame --width 640 --height 480 --capture_format png --capture_frames 50
