Vulkan Hair Simulation

Build

This repository only includes the C++ source and header files. Therefore, to actually run the projects on different platforms, you need to link the libraries after cloning following the Vulkan tutorial.

Dear ImGui

This project also uses Dear ImGui. You need to clone the repository and check out to the docking branch. Then you need to go to the imgui project and add the following files to Source Files:

• imgui.cpp
• imgui_draw.cpp
• imgui_widgets.cpp
• imgui_tables.cpp
• imgui_demo.cpp
• imgui_impl_glfw.cpp
• imgui_impl_vulkan.cpp

and turn off pre‑compiled headers for the ImGui files (if you use PCH) by:

1. Select all ImGui .cpp files.
2. Right-click and select Properties.
3. In the C/C++ section, select Precompiled Headers.
4. Set Precompiled Header to Not Using Precompiled Headers.

Once you are done, you can simply build the project to generate the static library. You might need to link the vulkan and GLFW libraries to the project as well. The generated library will be located in either the Debug or Release folder, depending on the configuration you are using. You can then proceed to the main project and:

1. Right-click on the project and select Properties.
2. In the C/C++ section, select Additional Include Directories.
3. Add the path to the imgui folder.
4. In the Linker section, select Additional Library Directories.
5. Add $(SolutionDir)$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\ or where your static library file is located.
6. In the Linker section, select Input.
7. Add imgui.lib to the Additional Dependencies field.

Windows

You'll need to create an empty project in Visual Studio and add the source and header files to the project. Then, you just need to follow the link provided above.
