Question 1

Is Lugdunum3D still supported in 2023?

Accepted Answer

No, the project has been unmaintained since March 2018, so there are no active updates or support, though the original creators might answer questions informally.

Question 2

How to build Lugdunum3D on Windows 10?

Accepted Answer

Use CMake with the provided build files and Visual Studio 2017 or a compatible C++14 compiler, following the documentation to handle dependencies via Lugdunum-ThirdParty.

Question 3

Lugdunum3D vs Unreal Engine for learning Vulkan?

Accepted Answer

Lugdunum3D is a lightweight, educational engine focused solely on Vulkan and C++, while Unreal Engine is a full-featured, actively maintained game engine with broader tools but less Vulkan-specific exposure.

Question 4

Can Lugdunum3D run on MacOS?

Accepted Answer

No, the README only lists support for Android, Windows, and Linux, and the unmaintained status means porting to MacOS would require significant custom work.

Question 5

What are the system requirements for Lugdunum3D?

Accepted Answer

It requires a C++14 compiler and Vulkan-capable hardware. Tested toolchains include Clang 3.8 for Android, Visual Studio 2017 for Windows, and GCC 6.2.0 for Linux.

Question 6

How to load custom 3D models in Lugdunum3D?

Accepted Answer

Convert your models to glTF 2.0 format, as the engine supports this standard. Refer to the 'Hello' sample for an example of loading and rendering glTF assets.

Question 7

Is Lugdunum3D suitable for virtual reality projects?

Accepted Answer

It's not explicitly designed for VR, and the unmaintained status means it lacks modern VR APIs and optimizations, making it less ideal compared to dedicated engines like Unity or Unreal.
