Vox Sample Project

A sample project has been included as a zip file (SampleProject.zip) in the repository. This project is designed to run without any configuration. Simply open the project and click run. This will build and run the project. The project contains a sample scene which demonstrates the basic features of the Vox engine. These features include...

• Entities
• Shaders/Shader Components
• OBJ Model Loading
• JSON Model Loading
• Frame Buffers
• Render Surfaces
• Directional Lights
• Point Lights
• Animations
• Shadows
• Camera
• Voxels
• Shader Loading
• Transformations

This sample project also has many comments which should clarify what is being done and why
