Advanced Learning Examples¶
These examples show larger creative-project patterns while preserving the same Scene and render-thread contracts introduced by the foundation examples.
Visual evidence policy
Final example captures belong to installed-package qualification. Until that evidence exists, this page describes the executable sketches without publishing a mock screenshot.
SphereParticle¶
Runs bounded simulation work through SceneServices.tasks(), isolates immutable results to the
current activation, and keeps every Processing/OpenGL call on the render thread. Click or drag to
add particles.
InfiniteBackground¶
Qualifies the shared LDR Environment background with real and synthetic equirectangular sources. It exercises visibility, intensity, longitude offset, far-depth occlusion, and Standard/spherical orientation without scene-owned sky geometry.
FulldomePBR¶
Demonstrates retained PShape geometry, GLSL 4.10 metallic-roughness shading, fixed-function fallback, and the shared scene-space OrbitCamera. The camera transforms scene content consistently without mutating spherical pitch/yaw/roll, and the scene releases camera input when disposed.
SolarSystem¶
A multi-file application and reference consumer for SceneServices. It uses the library-owned frame clock, bounded fixed-step timeline, typed assets, named actions, deferred reload, cleanup, OrbitCamera target tracking, and scene-scoped Environment. The camera supports reset, drag, wheel zoom, and quaternion orientation; the same orientation drives the infinite background without a scene-owned sky sphere. Julian Date and orbital propagation remain application-domain adapters. Press n to toggle UTC clock diagnostics without printing every frame by default.
Advanced learning examples still follow the same ownership rule: sceneRender(PGraphicsOpenGL) draws into an already-open target and does not call beginDraw() or endDraw().
