ModelViewProjection

http://billsix.github.io/modelviewprojection/intro.html

Learn how to build 3D graphics from the ground up. This codebase demonstrates how to create objects, put them where you want them to go, view the scene with a camera that can move, and how to project that 3D data to a 2D screen.

For further information, such as lighting, shadows, and OpenGL in more explicit detail, consult

1. OpenGL redbook/bluebook. (OpenGL superbible v4, because it covers fixed function and shaders)
2. Mathematics for 3D Game Programming and Computer Graphics
3. Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice in C (2nd Edition)

For RayTracing

1. Physically Based Rendering
2. Ray Tracing from the Ground Up

Approach

This book uses "mistake-driven-development". I show incrementally how to build a more complex graphics application, making mistakes along the way, and then fixing the mistakes.

Windows

Use Visual Studio 2019 (Tested on community, but I'm sure it will work on others).

Using Developer Command Prompt

    cd book
    python -m venv venv
    cd venv\Scripts
    activate.bat
    cd ..\..\
    python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
    python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
    python src\demo05\demo.py

Linux

Install Python3, glfw via a package manager. Use pip and virtualenv to install dependencies

Linux

    cd book
    python -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate
    python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
    python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
    python src/demo05/demo.py

Mac

Python Python3 (via anaconda, homebrew, macports, whatever), and use pip and virtualenv to install dependencies.

Mac OS X

    cd book
    python -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate
    python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
    python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
    python src/demo05/demo.py

Build the book

Install podman

    make

The book is then in the "output" directory
