A graphical app with 3D models generated natively and imported externally using OpenGL
The project is configured with cmake build system
Generated with the OpenGL base public template (https://github.com/amoldhamale1105/OpenGLBase.git)
Currently linked with the glew, glfw and glm libraries
Please note that the glew and glfw libs are linked statically and thus necessitate installation in the /usr dir beforehand through their source code. Please refer to the CMakeLists.txt for a better understanding
Install vckpg for Visual Studio
Open project folder in Microsoft Visual Studio
Update the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH in CMakeLists.txt to match the installation location
Create CMake settings json for app and add path to vcpkg toolchain file (vcpkg.cmake) in CMake settings
Delete cache and congifure, followed by Build All/Rebuild All
Run cmake .. from the build dir or reconfigure all if loaded in VSCode
Run make or build all if loaded in VSCode
Note
You need to install required dependency packages with respective package manager on your OS like vcpkg or apt if you face errors while configuring with cmake.
The generated binary must be present in the bin dir on a successful build
Launch the MyOpenGLApp executable from the project root as ./bin/MyOpenGLApp or .\bin\MyOpenGLApp.exe
The following scene should be visible in a window if the generated binary runs successfully with all its dependencies
Navigate the scene with keys A, W and D and the mouse for looking around
A spotlight can be turned on for fun with the key L to test reflections and omnidirectional shadows
