3dEngine is a 3d real-time rendering engine written in C++ using OpenGL, GLM and SDL2.
This personal project is used for my computer graphics lessons in the context of the IAFA master of the Paul Sabatier University. Some features (such as Bezier curves and surfaces) are implemented for exercises.
Current openGL version : 3.3 core.
3dEngine can only be built on a linux os.
To build it, you will need some libraries :
- OpenGL (usualy already installed with common linux distrib)
- SDL2
- GLM
Once you have installed all the libraries, download the repo and use make to build it. The executable is in a directory named build/. There are also two other directories : Models/ and Shader/. Shader/ is needed to run the executable. Models/ is not needed but there are basics .obj example files in it.
Run the executable named "engine" in a terminal.
Move the camera with the WSAD or ZQSD key. Move it up and down with the Q or A key and the E key. Rotate it with the mouse while pressing the wheel. The first wheel input will rotate the camera in an unpredictable way and then it works well. This will be fixed soon (see issue 12).
Presse Escape to quit.
3D objects and lights (only point light for now) can be instantiated and rendered in a main.cpp file throught a Scene and its managers. Check the project's main.cpp file to see how it works. 3D objects can be Bezier curves, Bezier surfaces or meshes.
.obj files only. Files with a number of vertex > 1000 can be slow to load (a few seconds). Including materials is useless for now.
Some ehancements or additions are considered (e.g. Blinn-Phong model for BRDF or scene management ehancement).
This project will evolve with future exercises and lesson of my master over the year.
