FDF

An introduction project to the graphics branch @ 42.

Reads in a height map to generate a 3D model that the user can interact with!

Compiling and running

This project will only work on 42school Macs!

Run make. An executable will compile.

Run it with ./fdf [map] ##Usage After running make to generate the fdf executable you can run the program with ./fdf [valid_fdf_file]. A valid fdf file will consist of a matrix of number delimited by spaces. Each number's position represents an (x , y) coordinate with the value of the number itself representing a height (z).

Valid fdf files will always have the same number of elements per row.

Example:

$> cat -e 42.fdf

Maps

You can find differents maps on the test_maps folder or create yours using the following examples.

EXAMPLES:


##Output The program will attempt to render the model described by the fdf file in a graphical window. The user can interact with the graphical model with the following commands:

v : Rotate Vertically
h : Rotate Horizontally 
Mouse scroll up/down or +/-: Zoom in/out
Arrow keys: Translate x/y axes or click using mouse
a key: + in z depth 
s key: - in z depth  
p : switch between parallel and  isometric projection
esc: Quit :(
