Basic-Engine

A lightweight and straightforward 3D rendering engine built from the ground up using C++ and OpenGL. This project serves as a foundational exploration into the core concepts of computer graphics.

Features

• Window and Input Management: Utilizes GLFW for creating windows and handling user input.
• 3D Rendering: Implements a basic rendering pipeline with shaders, vertex buffers, and index buffers.
• Camera System: A simple camera for navigating the 3D scene.
• Texture Loading: Supports loading and applying textures to objects.
