Rendering Engine Experiment

introduction

This is an experiment in creating a rendering engine to learn about openGL and graphics rendering.

Building

For now this project is designed to run on MacOS, it can easily be modified to run on other platforms and in the future it may be adjusted to run on other platforms.

MacOS

The following commands will build the project for MacOS

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

This should output a executable binary called ./rendering_app in the build folder.

Other platforms

This project uses glfw to create a window and work with OpenGL. The binaries for MacOS have been bundled in with this project under third_part/glfw-3.4. If you would like to run this project on other platforms you can replace these binaries with the binaries for your platform and update the CMakeLists.txt file to build the project with the new binaries.
