objcurses v1.3.0

objcurses is a minimalistic 3D object viewer that runs in your terminal using ncurses. It renders .obj models in real time using ASCII characters and a simple rendering pipeline. The project was built from scratch in modern C++20 using up-to-date best practices and a clean modular design, as a personal exploration of low-level graphics programming – without relying on external graphic engines or frameworks.


What's New in v1.3.0

  • feat(renderer): add object centering
  • feat: add axes inversion
  • fix(mathematics): fix incorrect conversion to viewport
