3D Object Renderer for common geometric shapes, including triangles, cubes, spheres, and torus (donut) with texture support. Built with OpenGL, a cross-platform, low-level API for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics alongside CMake, GLFW, GLAD, glm, and fmt.

Minimum Requirements:

1. C++17
2. C17
3. CMake 3.10

• GLFW. There are two options: build from source using CMake or use prebuilt binaries.
• GLAD. Select API > gl > Latest Version. The API version doesn't matter, as long as it is greater than the GLFW version you're using. After that, go to Profile > Core, then press "Generate" and download the zip folder.
• GLM. This is a header-only library, so linking is very straightforward.
• FMT. The easiest, and best way is to install with vcpkg and then link it with CMake.

Create a build directory

mkdir build
cd build

Configure, build, and run the project with release (recommended)

cmake --build .\build\ --config Release
.\build\Release\{file-name}

or with debug:

cmake --build .\build\ --config Debug
.\build\Debug\{file-name}

On Linux and macOS, CMake does not use the --config flag in the same way. Instead, you specify the build type when configuring:

cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build
./build/{file-name}

Or for Debug mode:

cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build build
./build/{file-name}
