If you are having trouble building this, you can just download a build at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pjt2f0hs50iag4j/AAAvBZhCsbmRVUQFwSr5NA9ua?dl=0

A full blown 3D graphics engine that runs in the windows command prompt. 3D objects are rendered in real-time as monochromatic ASCII art.

Right now, you can only load one .obj file at a time.

Before running

Set the command prompt's font size to 6 pt. Lucida Console works well.

Features

  • 3D Wireframe/solid rendering. Solid rendering done with rasterizer. Z buffer for solid rendering, but it's messed up a little.

  • Load meshes from .obj files. Sample .obj is included.

  • Mesh transformations - rotations around x/y/z axis done.

  • Texture mapping. I used barycentric interpolation to do this. Multiple materials/mesh.

  • Lighting: Simple flat shading.

  • User input runs on another thread.

User Input

After the model has loaded, press Return (the model will start to flicker)

  • Use WASD translate meshes
  • Use R,T,Y to rotate them
  • Press Space to change the rendering mode

Bugs

  • Problems with using multiple materials per mesh
  • zBuffer isn't quite right
