3D model of Sun, Earth, and Moon built with OpenGL library
Lighting is rendered appropiately to model how the sun's light hits the Earth / Moon
Supports following viewpoints on planetary system via keyboard shortcuts:
"Top down" view on all 3 celestial bodies
View from the Earth on the Moon / Sun
View from the Moon on the Earth / Moon
The rotation and revolving time periods of the Sun / Earth / Moon are modeled proportionately to each other when possible, although some artistic liberties had to be taken with some of the radii / orbital radii as explained here
Setup Instructions
Open project (with all source files) in Visual Studio, go to Debug > Build Sample
See keyboard function definition in source code here for keyboard shortcuts to rotate views, pause animations, etc
