An OpenGL render engine based on the tutorials made by ThinMatrix. Written in C++ instead of Java as an exercise.

Features

• OBJ model loading.
• Textures and mip-mapping.
• Normal mapping.
• Shadows.
• Phong shading and lighting optimisations.
• Terrain generation.
• Realistic water with reflections and refraction.
• GUI rendering.
• Skybox, day-night cycle and fog.
• Probably other things that I am forgetting.
