## Overview

|

Below is a general overview of how the Thermion packages are structured to ensure a clean separation between the general Dart components, and the Flutter specific components.

### ThermionViewer (`thermion_dart`)
|
||||
|
||||
// TODO
|
||||
The ThermionViewer class provides an API for creating and interacting with 3D scenes powered by the Filament rendering engine.
|
||||
|
||||
It allows loading 3D models in glTF format, adding lights and a skybox, manipulating the camera, animating objects, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
Key functionalities include:
|
||||
- Scene Management: Load and manipulate entities, lights, skyboxes, and background elements within a 3D scene.
|
||||
- Rendering Control: Manage rendering loop, frame rate, and post-processing effects like tone mapping and bloom.
|
||||
- Camera Control: Position and orient the camera, adjust focal length, and control exposure settings.
|
||||
- Animation: Play, pause, and manipulate skeletal and morph target animations.
|
||||
- Entity Manipulation: Transform entities (position, rotation, scale), set material properties, and manage parent-child relationships.
|
||||
- Collision Detection (experimental): Add collision components to entities and test for collisions within the scene.
|
||||
- Input Handling: Interact with the scene using touch gestures for panning, rotating, and zooming.
|
||||
- Developers use the ThermionViewer class to build and control the behavior of their 3D applications.
|
||||
|
||||
### ThermionFlutterPlugin
|
||||
|
||||
The ThermionFlutterPlugin class handles the platform-specific initialization required to embed a Filament rendering surface within a Flutter Widget.
|
||||
|
||||
This includes creating a texture and managing the application lifecycle to pause rendering when the app is inactive.
|
||||
|
||||
You will generally only need to interact with `ThermionFlutterPlugin` directly to create or dispose of a ThermionViewer.
|
||||
|
||||
### ThermionWidget (`thermion_flutter`)
|
||||
|
||||
// TODO
|
||||
`ThermionWidget` is a Flutter widget that displays the 3D content rendered by a ThermionViewer.
|
||||
|
||||
It handles creating and managing the underlying platform-specific texture that Filament renders to, and provides a way to embed this texture within the Flutter widget tree.
|
||||
|
||||
Key features of ThermionWidget include:
|
||||
- Texture Management: It creates, resizes, and destroys the ThermionFlutterTexture used to display the rendered content from the ThermionViewer.
|
||||
- Platform Adaption: It handles platform-specific differences, such as texture coordinate systems, to ensure consistent rendering across different platforms.
|
||||
- Initialization Handling: Displays a placeholder (configurable via the initial property) while the Filament texture is being initialized, providing a smoother user experience.
|
||||
- Seamless Integration: Integrates seamlessly within the Flutter widget tree, allowing developers to combine 2D and 3D content easily.
|
||||
- Resize Handling: It listens for resize events and automatically resizes the underlying texture to match, ensuring the 3D content scales correctly.
