Project Description:

This project is focused on developing a 3D rendering engine that supports the subsystems needed in a video game. Aside from various snippets of code derived from different sources*, the engine is completely hand coded from the ground up.

The engine currently supports:

  • Blinn-Phong Shading
  • Parallax Mapping
  • Algorithmically generated primitive meshes
  • Dynamic lighting
  • Resource / Material system using Lua

Currently in-progress and partially implemented

  • Static mesh loading from OBJ files
