ArViz Godot

ArViz Godot is a front-end of ArViz, the 3D visualization framework of Armarx. It is based on the free game engine Godot.

Installation

Using Axii

When using Axii, add the module armarx/core/arviz-godot and run an upgrade:

axii add armarx/core/arviz-godot
axii upgrade

Afterwards, you can start the application via the arviz-godot command.

arviz-godot

Note: You may have to open a new console or re-source your armarx-workspace.rc to reload the new environment variables after adding the module.

Manual Installation

Clone the repository into arviz_godot:

git clone --recursive git@gitlab.com:ArmarX/core/arviz-godot.git arviz_godot

Run CMake and build the target arviz_godot:

cd arviz_godot/build/
cmake ..

cd ..  # i.e. arviz_godot/
cmake --build build --target arviz_godot .

Tests are disabled by default. To enable them, run use the -DUseTest=ON option. Some tests require Catch2 to be installed.

To create an executable, Godot export templates must be installed. Then, the following commands can be used to create an executable:

# From arviz_godot/
cd source/arviz_interactive_project/components/arviz_interactive/avi
godot --no-window --export "Linux/X11"

The executable avi.x86_64 can then be found in the ./exports folder.
