You can find my todo list for the render pipeline here: Render Pipeline Roadmap.

Getting Started / Wiki

You should checkout the wiki if you want to find out more about the pipeline: Render Pipeline WIKI

There is also a page about getting started there: Getting Started

Requirements

• OpenGL 4.3 capable GPU (and drivers)
• Panda3D Development Build
• 1 GB Graphics Memory recommended (Can run with less, depends on enabled plugins and resolution)

Notice: It seems that the drivers for Intel HD Graphics on Linux are not capable of all 4.3 features, so the pipeline is not able to run there!

If you want to use the C++ Modules, checkout Building the C++ Modules to get a list of requirements for them.

Reporting Bugs / Contributing

If you find bugs, or find information missing in the wiki, or want to contribute, you can find me most of the time in the #panda3d channel on freenode.
