WIPE

WIPE is a 3D graphics renderer written purely C99 with little dependencies.

It's fast, simple and portable : it should work fine on any machine having OpenGL 1.5 and SDL2.

Features

• Written in C99
• Anti-Aliasing
• Custom 3D model format

Design

I decided to use fixed pipeline OpenGL because it's much simpler than writing shaders. I will try to do many effects without them !

This engine isn't meant to be used to make the next Alan Wake, with bleeding edge technology like ray tracing or PBR. Instead, it's meant for Quake-3 like graphics !

External dependencies

To compile, you must have :

• SDL2
• GLU
• OpenGL 1.5 (or higher)

Libraries used

Thanks to the developers of SDL2 ! Every lib is the copyright of its respective... copyright holder?

Getting the engine

Compiling

You can either use make or CMake :

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. # Use MinGW makefiles if on Windows
make

cp docs/Makefile.old Makefile
make

Technical info

Maps and models

WIPE got its own geometry format : Wipe Models, tailored for this engine. It's a binary file containing vertices, faces and textures.

Examples

See demo.c for a live example !
