About

This is a personal project for me to further get used C++, especially with libraries. It is also to help me start my graphics programming journey and improve my knowledge on optimisation and PCG. Development is in progress, but slowly due to my masters degree.

Useful Links

• Chunks
• Terrain Generation - RenderChunks function!
• Shader.cpp
• Fragment Shader (phong lighting)

Features

• basic chunks based off a noise function
• Face culling
• camera system
• dynamic chunk generation at runtime for infinite worlds

Getting Started

Requirements

• Visual Studio 2022
• Desktop development with C++ for visual studio.

Setup

1. Download the repository.
2. Extract the folder.
3. Open the OpenGLVoxelEngine.sln file located in OpenGLVoxelEngine -> OpenGLVoxelEngine.
4. Experiment with and explore the project!

Future Features

• Multithreading to speed up procedural generation
• frustum culling

Libraries

• GLFW
• GLAD
• GLM
• FastNoiseLite
