Basic Model Viewer

Basic Model Viewer (BMV) is a Qt5 based visualization tool written in Modern OpenGL and currently support basic objects and .obj files.

This tool was originally written as part of learning experience from Computer Graphics course. Project is not actively developed, however I intend to test on mac as long as I use this tool as an auxiliary utility to quickly obtain camera and object locations for photo realistic rendering.
