Technical requirements

Here is what it takes to run the code from this chapter on your Linux or Windows PC. You will need a graphics processing unit (GPU) with recent drivers supporting OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.2. The source code can be downloaded from https://github.com/PacktPublishing/3D-Graphics-Rendering-Cookbook. To run the demo applications from this chapter, you are advised to download and unpack the entire Amazon Lumberyard Bistro dataset from the McGuire Computer Graphics Archive, at http://casual-effects.com/data/index.html. Of course, you can use smaller meshes if you cannot download the 2.4 gigabyte (GB) package.
