Utilities » Magnum Player

Advanced app for loading and playing back scene and image files.

Image
Live web version
uses WebAssembly & WebGL

This app is built if MAGNUM_WITH_PLAYER is enabled when building Magnum Extras. To use this app with CMake, you need to request the player component of the MagnumExtras package and use the MagnumExtras::player target for example in a custom command:

find_package(MagnumExtras REQUIRED player)

add_custom_command(OUTPUT ... COMMAND MagnumExtras::player ...)

On desktop, a file is supplied via a command-line argument. In the WebAssembly build, files can be opened via drag & drop. The player supports any scene or image file that can be opened with plugns derived from Trade::AbstractImporter.

Controls

  • Space plays or pauses the animation
  • arrow keys seek the animation forward or backward
  • mouse drag rotates the scene around the cursor
  • Shift mouse drag pans the scene at depth of the cursor
  • mouse wheel zooms in/out relative to cursor position
  • right mouse button selects and highlights mesh under cursor, showing stats for it
  • Num 1 / Ctrl Num 1 switches to a front / back view
  • Num 3 / Ctrl Num 3 switches to a right / left view
  • Num 7 / Ctrl Num 7 switches to a top / bottom view
  • Num 0 resets the camera back to the original view
  • + / Num + or - / Num - increases or decreases lighting brightness
  • Ctrl mouse wheel adjusts length of TBN visualization lines
  • F5 re-imports currently loaded file (desktop version only, on the web drop a file again for equivalent behavior)
  • P toggles profiling output in the console (see also the --profile command-line option below)
  • Esc toggles UI rendering

Usage

magnum-player [--magnum-...] [-h|--help] [-I|--importer IMPORTER]
    [-i|--importer-options key=val,key2=val2,…] [--id ID]
    [--no-merge-animations] [--msaa N] [--profile VALUES] [-v|--verbose] [--]
    file

Arguments:

  • file — file to load
  • -h, --help — display this help message and exit
  • -I, --importer IMPORTER — importer plugin to use (default: AnySceneImporter, with a fallback to AnyImageImporter when an image file is supplied)
  • -i, --importer-options key=val,key2=val2,… — configuration options to pass to the importer
  • --id ID — image or scene ID to import
  • --no-merge-animations — don't merge glTF animations into a single clip
  • --msaa N — MSAA level to use (if not set, defaults to 8x or 2x for HiDPI)
  • --profile VALUES — profile the rendering (default: FrameTime CpuDuration GpuDuration)
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output from importer plugins
  • --magnum-... — engine-specific options (see Command-line options for details)

The -i / --importer-options argument accepts a comma-separated list of key/value pairs to set in the importer plugin configuration. If the = character is omitted, it's equivalent to saying key=true; you can specify configuration subgroups using a slash.

The --profile option accepts a space-separated list of measured values. Available values correspond to DebugTools::FrameProfilerGL::Value names.
