C++ openGL Engine

Description

A basic 3D engine to render a model into an openGL context. This engine is capable of reading both OBJ files as well as plain MODEL files (which only contains sets of vertices). Models can be textured using the models UV coordinates, and have a material which determines the way that the diffuse and specular lighting is handled. Once a model is loaded into the engine it can be attached to a scene at a given position and controlled using an update method.

This was the first openGL engine that I created, so it is a bit rough around the edges in comparison to the LWJGL engine. Creating this engine was also a great way for me to reacquaint myself with C++ after years of not using it. The engine also allowed me to learn about some interesting aspects of math which I might not have been able to look into otherwise. While the only mathematical class created by myself is the EulerAngle class, using the already implemented structures was still very interesting and fruitful. Thanks to both this engine and the LWJGL engine, I was able to pad out my handwritten mathematical notes which is something I always find quite fun!
