a simple OpenGL application written in C++ and featuring hierarchical transformations

Make sure you have the following dependencies installed on your system:

cmake
libsdl-dev
freeglut3-dev
libxmu-dev
libxi-dev

[Re]build the Makefile:

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" .

Build and run:

make && ./main

<space>      stop animation
<1> .. <7>   switch scene
<ESC>        quit

cg1 has been written by Markus Klinik and Simon Hengel for a cg-course at Georg-Simon-Ohm-Hochschule Nuernberg in 2003. We think it may be useful getting started with OpenGL. Please feel free to use it for any purpose you like (in accordance with the license, see the accompanying LICENSE file).

The following features may be implemented in the future (as we think they are useful and fun):

• LoadableMesh, a MeshObject that gets its geometry definition from a file

• Additional materials like metal, plastic or glass

• Advanced scene management within the World class

cg1 has been extended by Simon Hengel in 2004. New features are:

• A LoadableMesh class

• The hierarchical transformations do not work as intended, if the camera is a subobject.

• Markus Klinik
• Simon Hengel

Bug reports and comments are welcome. If you have implemented a feature or fixed a bug, please let us know.
