The goal of this project is to implement a parallel 3D software rendering pipeline with programmable fragment shader.
In order to run this project a basic C++ compiler with a bash/shell or an IDE is required. Also, the provided input images are required in a bitmap format (.bmp).
To run the projects it's required a suitable IDE or C++ shell compiler.
stb_image.h and stb_image_write.h are a freely available library I decided to import to load easily bitmap files. If a better alternative is available they could be replaced. Also the multi-threading level could be improved, to achieve even better performance.
