Shape3D

Shape3D is an application for visualizing and manipulating 3D shapes. It provides various tools and features to interact with 3D objects, including rotation, scaling, and rendering modes.

Features

• 3D Shape Visualization: View and interact with 3D shapes in real-time.
• Rotation and Scaling: Rotate and scale shapes using intuitive controls.
• Rendering Modes: Multiple rendering modes including points, pre-defined lines, dynamic lines, and experimental rendering.
• Shape Modification: Add, remove, and modify points of the shapes.
• Plugin Support: Load and use dynamic plugins to extend functionality.
• Autosave: Automatically saves the current shape state on exit and loads it on startup.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/shape3d.git
   cd shape3d

2. Build the project:

   just

3. Run the application:

   ./shape3d

Usage

• Rotation: Use arrow keys and Q/E to rotate the shape.
• Zoom: Use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
• Rendering Modes: Select different rendering modes from the options menu.
• Shape Modification: Use the shape modifier window to add, remove, and modify points.

Plugin Development

To develop a plugin for Shape3D, follow these steps:

1. Create a new Rust library project.
2. Implement the required functions and export them using #[no_mangle].
3. Write a linker function inside the plugins.rs to explain input and outputs
4. Compile the library and place the resulting .dll or .so file in the appropriate directory.
5. Shape3D will automatically detect and load the plugin if it meets the required interface.
