3dviewer

Project for the 3D computer graphics course, implemented with OpenGL glut library. Expected product is creation of a building model from Vancouver region and creative rendering of building, environment with camera movement.

Progress

part 1: Model entity class for storing model data and transformation hierarchy

part 2: converter utility from .obj file from modelling software to custom format for the course

part 3: Implemented lighting, parametric curve, animation manager, clock, model pool, xml parser, scene graph rendering

Implement extra rendering effects (shadow, animation) in near future

Running

Animation Scene:

Required files: city file, animation file, motionpath file, lighting file, model files

1. extract model files from testcase/models/ to testcase/city1/ folder
2. create an outputimage/ folder to store captured images
3. make recordertest
4. run using: build/RecorderTest testcase/motionpaths/curvetest1.xml testcase/animation/animationparse.xml testcase/city1/funland.city testcase/lighting/lighting.xml norecord outputimage/

Model Converter:

1. make obj2custom
2. run using build/obj2custom inputObjPath outputFilePath outputObjectName
