World Dynamic Engine – A 3D graphics engine for Pharo

Virtual Reality Live at Thales with Pharo

Requirements

3D Graphics Card

Woden communicates with the 3D graphics via the abstract-gpu abstraction layer.

Windows and Linux

Woden on Windows requires a modern graphics card with support for at least one of the following two graphics APIs:

• Vulkan
• OpenGL 4.5

OS X

Woden on OS X requires a Mac with support for the Metal API.

Loading Woden

Woden can be loaded in a 64 bits Pharo 7 image by running the following script in a playground:

Metacello new
   baseline: 'WodenEngine';
   repository: 'github://ronsaldo/woden/tonel';
   load

Woden samples

For checking the Woden samples, you should check the class side of WDASceneExamples for some examples, or you can just run the following script for blue window:

model := WDAModel new.
model openWith: (WDASolidColorViewSample new color: Color blue)

This Demo uses Pharo and its “Woden 3D Engine” developed by R. Salgado.
