Project Team 9

This is a graphics programming project for 'COMP 371 - Computer Graphics'. It incorporates fundamental aspects of computer graphics such as modeling, camera control, lighting, texture mapping, and animation.

Environment

To avoid compatibility issues, it is recommended to run this project on a lab computer running Windows.
This program can be run on Windows, Mac or Linux computers; however, modifications may be required for non-lab computers.

Getting Started

For Lab Instructors:
Due to size restrictions in the submission system, the .cpp , project, and sln files will be solely provided. To run the project, insure that the provided files are loaded within the Lab02FullFramework folder in Visual Studio. Make sure that the subfloder ThirdParty is included as it should be.

clone or download the project and open it with Visual Studio or another c++ IDE of your choice. Open 'gfxProject.cpp', compile and then run. A windows with the models will appear. Use the control keys to navigate through the 3d environment or to rotate or move models.
