Snapdragon™ Occlusion Culling (SDOC)

SDOC is a mobile-optimized version of the Open Source project https://github.com/rawrunprotected/rasterizer The related optimizations include

1. Same frame skipping
2. Interleave rendering
3. Fast block traversal
4. Mix use of triangle and quad rendering
5. Checkerboard memory optimization
6. Mesh rectangle simplification during baking
7. Memory compression during baking
8. Potential visibility for occluder occludee object

Guidence on building SDOC for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS.

Windows

1. Install CMake 3.0 or higher.
2. Install Visual Studio 2017 or higher.
3. Open your source folder in Explorer and enter the Source/app/FuzzyCulling/. Run GenerateProjectFiles.bat to create project files for SOC. The Visual Studio project file will be generated in build folder.
4. Unzip app\FuzzyCulling\GOLDEN_DATA\all.7z file
5. Set the SDOCReplay as StartUp Project in Visual Studio,
6. Visual studio opens Source\app\FuzzyCulling\build\SDOC-Lib.sln
7. Set SDOCReplay project as start up project to test, compile and run
8. For debug testing, set SDOC_DevelopMode to 1, set it as 0 when generating dynamic library libSDOC.quic.dll

Android

Build the shared library

1. Latest Android studio to open the Source folder to load the project
2. Sync Project with Gradle Files, then setup the key for building the releasing application.
3. Build->Generate Signed Bundle/APK, select release as the Build Variants.
4. Unzip the APK for libSDOC.quic.so, the libSDOC.quic.so could be integrated with game engines.

Android demo to verify libSDOC.quic.so

1. Put built android libSDOC.quic.so in Demo\Android\SDOCDemo\app\src\main\jnilibs
2. Android Studio open Demo\Android\SDOCDemo and build the ready to run apk.

OSX

1. Install CMake 3.0 or higher.
2. Install the latest version of Xcode.
3. Open the Terminal at the source folder and enter Source/app/FuzzyCuling, execute the following command to generate Xcode project to build folder.

   chmod 755 GenerateProjectFiles_Mac.command
   GenerateProjectFiles_Mac.command
   

4. Enter the build folder and load the project into Xcode by double-clicking on the SDOC-Lib.xcodeproj. Select the ALL_BUILD as the target and then build the project.
5. To change the build configuration to Release, Edit Scheme in Main Menu->Product->Scheme, set the Run Executable to SDOCReplay and other
6. Compile and execute. The libSDOC.quic.dylib is shared library could be integrated with game engines.

iOS

Build the static library

1. Sync the submodule to get ios-cmake. git submodule init git submodule update
   You might need to call "git submodule add https://github.com/leetal/ios-cmake.git" in the directory of sdoc\Source\app\submodules if submodule init/update fail
2. Open the Terminal at the source folder and enter Source/app/FuzzyCuling, execute the following command to generate Xcode project to build folder.

   chmod 755 GenerateProjectFiles_ios.command
   GenerateProjectFiles_ios.command
   

3. Enter the build folder and load the project into Xcode by double-clicking on the SDOC-Lib.xcodeproj. Select the ALL_BUILD as the target and then build the project.
4. To change the build configuration to Release, Edit Scheme in Main Menu->Product->Scheme.

iOS demo to verify

1. Connect iphone
2. iOS: open Demo\iOS\iQOC.xcodeproj to build iQOC (QOC is the previous name of SDOC)
3. "Fail to load the file" message would show for the init run
4. Cmd+shift+2 to summon iphone device UI
5. from iphone device UI, select iQOC and click "App Container Action" and choose "Download Container"
6. Right click the "Download Container" and choose "Show Package Contents"
7. Copy files from Source\app\FuzzyCulling\GOLDEN_DATA\all to container's AppData/Documents
8. From iphone device UI, click "App Container Action" and choose "Replace Container"
9. Restart iQOC on the iphone
