If you are having trouble building this, you can just download a build at https://www.dropbox.com/s/3y7zip9sef2k01d/cgbuild.zip?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.

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

• 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.

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

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