Repo for a 3d rendering engine intended to explore the concepts of computer graphics.

Currently this project only runs on Unix systems. In order to build and run the project, the following dependencies are required:

GLFW (Included with the project in the lib/ folder)
OpenGL
GLU
GLEW
pthread
Xrandr
Xxf86vm
Xi
Xinerama
X11
dl
Xcursor
SOIL
glm
assimp

To build and run:

cd path/to/repository
make run

If all of the dependencies are met, the project should load and run.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglfw3

If you get this error, type the following commands from the root directory

cd lib
ln -s libglfw.so.3.1 libglfw3.so

This will create a symbolic link to the proper GLFW library that your linker will be able to detect. This is already a known issue on Arch Linux.

If you see this:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  ***** src/Model.cpp, line 80, process_mesh() : mesh->mNormals is NULL *****

Then you probably forgot to export your normals when you exported your Blender file as a .obj! When exporting, on the left-hand side make sure you check the "Include Normals" option, otherwise you will get this error.
