guru

A simple OpenGL engine written in C++ for building and rendering 3D scenes. This was created to explore the fundamentals of 3D graphics.

Examples

Further documentation is coming soon.

Libraries

Guru makes use of the following libraries:

• GL (OpenGL, v4.6) - for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics.
• glad (v2) - used for loading OpenGL function pointers, enabling cross-platform development.
• GLFW (v3.3.9) - provides low-level access for creating windows, creating contexts and surfaces, and reading input.
• GLM (OpenGL Mathematics, v0.9.9) - help with math for graphics that involve vectors and matrices.
• ASSIMP (Open Asset Import Library) - helps load 3D models into the program.
• stb_image.h (v2.29) - a single-file library used for loading image data. no installation needed, this file is included in the source code.

Installation

Setup with Visual Studio 2022 for Windows

Future Implementations

• SpotLight implementation in the default shader code.
• Shadow mapping.
• Bloom FX.
• Mac OS support.
