GLEngine

GLEngine is a C++ OpenGL graphics engine which aimed to be a skill, knowledge and possibly graphical showcase. It will support many graphical features, from something as basic as textures and shaders to deferred rendering, PBR and such.

How to use

GLEngine was written using Linux, QtCreator as the IDE, CMake 3.0+ as the building tool, OpenGL 4.0+ as the Graphics API and a C++11 compiler in mind.

Download the source, open the CMakeList.txt file with QtCreator, build the project, and everything should be ready to use.

• In GLEngine :
  • Hold the right mouse button to use the camera and its features
  • Toggle between the different buffers using the 1-9 buttons

Dependencies (included)

• Window & Input system : GLFW
• OpenGL Function Loader : GLAD
• OpenGL Mathematic Functions : GLM
• Image Loading : stb
• Mesh Loading : Assimp
