Vulkan-MarchingCube

---

What is Marching Cube?

• Marching cubes algorithm is algorithm for polygonizing of scalar field data(like X-ray or MRI).
  This example implemented Marching cube algorithm but added process to make triangle mesh output, not triangle soup.

Pipeline

Installation

• Ubuntu

1. Download VulkanSDK from here
2. Extract VulkanSDK you downloaded.

$ tar -zxvf where/vulkan_sdk/located

3. Copy header files.

• If you go to extracted directory. You can find x86_64 directory.
  move to x86_64 then you can find "include" directory. copy files inside include to system include directory.

$ sudo cp -r vulkan_sdk_location/x86_64/include/* /usr/local/include/

• recommed use setup-env.sh file inside your VulkanSDK directory.
  or add it on your shell profile.(.zshrc or .bashrc etc...)

source VulkanSDK/setup-env.sh

6. Install dependencies

$ sudo apt install libglfw3-dev libglm-dev cmake g++ make

7. Clone this example && build

$ git clone https://github.com/elensar92/Vulkan-MarchingCube
$ cd ./Vulkan-MarchingCube
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ cmake CMakeLists.txt
$ make

8. launch Vulkan_MarhichingCube binary file

$./Vulkan\_MarchingCube

• Mac OS

1. Install CommandLine Tools if it is not installed.
