A windows console 3D graphics engine written in C#.
This is a learning project regarding creating the foundations of a 3D graphics engine.
Much inspiration was taken from these guys:
(Though for the vast majority of things, I am writing entirely from scratch for complete learning.)
Customized wavefront obj loading code I am currently using: https://github.com/ChrisJansson/ObjLoader
- Loading of 3D wavefront object models, converting to mesh representation. Models with faces containing more than 3 vertices is supported.
- Lazy rasterizer: A sequence of drawing actions are cached and only executed when final image rasterization is executed.
- Ability to draw (rasterize) points, lines, triangles, polygons, vertical & horizontal strings, axes, and meshes to buffer.
- Mesh center vertices and bounding box can also be drawn.
- Meshes can be rasterized as wired polygons, vertices, or as solids (tad bit buggy).
- Ability to transform rasterized objects: scaling, translation, and rotations along every axis.
- 16 bit polychromatic rendering baby! Still a bit to do for the API for the colors and such.
- Rudimentary polygon hiding algo (zbuffer). (tad bit buggy)
- Update transformation so objects are scaled and rotated around the objects center, even for object models not centered around (0, 0, 0).
- Implement a camera (perspective projection).
- Lighting & shadows.
- Some Kernel32 Console Abstractions (coloring, etc).
- Create an asteroids game demo using the engine.
