# CoRCalculator - Library to Compute Centres of Rotation for [Optimised Centres of Rotation Skinning][3]

This is a small C++ library and re-implementation to compute optimized centres of rotation for skinning 3D graphical models with the skinning method proposed by _Le and Hodgins_ in 2016 in their paper [_Real-time Skeletal Skinning with Optimized Centers of Rotation_][3].
Moreover, the library contains GLSL shaders for optimized centres of rotation skinning as well as for the classical [linear blend skinning][1] and [dual-quaternion skinning][2].
Le and Hodgins present their method in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfIfcQiC2oA).

### Instructions
An example on how to use the library is given in `example.cpp`.

The CMake file is tested on Linux and Windows.

When compiled with the flag `COR_ENABLE_PROFILING`, the `CoRCalculator` will print the times it has needed for each step.

The library has to be linked with the option `-pthread`, as it uses multithreading ([std::async](http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/future/async/)).

### Dependencies
This library solely depends on the header-only library [`glm`][4].
On Linux, installing `libglm-dev` with `apt` suffices.
On Windows, finding [`glm`][4] may require some changes, as we do it manually.

### Shader
We provide GLSL vertex shader logic for these three skeletal skinning techniques:

* **[Linear Blend Skinning (LBS)][1]**
* **[Dual Quaternion Skinning (DQS)][2]**
* **[Optimised Centres of Rotation Skinning (CRS)][3]**.

The file `skeletons.glsl` contains the `perform_skinning` function, that computes one of these three methods, depending on a uniform variable.
The files `quaternion.glsl` and `dualquaternion.glsl` each contain utility functions for their respective mathematics and have to be compiled
together with the vertex shader because they are required by `skeletons.glsl`.
We split these files so that you may pick what you need, since the `skeletons.glsl` file has to be customized anyway (especially the layout locations of the attributes).
