This differentiates MSVC and non-MSVC, when, for the most part, it probably shouldn't have to be this way:

Most (all?) packages are probably also required on non-MSVC.
This will hinder portability.

In addition, none of those packges are actually used / linked within this projects CMakeLists.txt.

I assume that the dependencies will take care of linking them, but in that case, this project shouldn't even have to be aware of these libraries (instead, the dependency should pull them in).

This project desperately needs a README.
I found this after only 2 days of working on my own solution; even then it takes a lot of reading of the code to figure out what it does.

I'd like to see (in the README, wiki, or repository website):

• Short introduction about what this does (curve-generation, curve-fitting, sprite-rendering).
• Example input files (ideally a wiki article with a list of all publicly available inputs).
• Example screenshot of the output.
• Documentation on how to build the tool.
• Documentation on how to run this tool.
• Plans for the future of this tool (integration with OpenRCT2? use within https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenGraphics?).

There is some problematic code in:

(Possibly other instances, too)

I've done something similar as what this tool does, but instead, I used the subposition-data from OpenRCT2 to generate the position, normal and binormal of each piece.

I ran into 3 issues with my approach:

• It's heavily quantized.
• blender array-modifiers can't stretch models to fit a curve length.
• blender curves have limited control over twisting.

So I'd be interested in 2 things:

• Analytical subpositions (what this tool does, but does not export); would solve quantization issues and also allow generating new subposition data for the game.
• Properly fitted meshes (which this tool does, but does not export); would work around blender problems.

Building gives me this:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (add_subdirectory):
  add_subdirectory given source "libIsoRender" which is not an existing
  directory.

https://github.com/X123M3-256/libIsoRender should be submoduled.

(The same issue exists for libImage within libIsoRender; potentially other instances, too)
