3D Shape Renderer

Interactive 3D Shape Visualization with OpenGL

Overview

A real-time 3D shape renderer that demonstrates fundamental computer graphics principles

Technologies

C OpenGL GLUT Linear Algebra GLSL

Key Features

  • Parametric shape generation (Sphere, Torus, Spring)
  • Real-time interactive rotation and zoom
  • Custom 3D model file import system
  • Dynamic color assignment per triangle
  • Depth buffer for proper 3D rendering

Implementation

  • Developed parametric equations for complex 3D shapes
  • Implemented transformation matrices for rotation and scaling
  • Created efficient vertex buffer management system
  • Built robust file parsing for custom 3D models
  • Optimized rendering pipeline for smooth performance
