Software implementation (based on CPU) of a 3D engine.

• Three types of rendering (wireframe, shading and texture).
• User has the control over the camera.
• Presentation mode (the model rotates automatically).
• Eight 3D models included:
  • Cube
  • UV Sphere
  • ICO Sphere
  • Cylinder
  • Cone
  • Torus
  • Suzzane
• Import 3D models in Babylon JSON format.
• Models can be exported from Blender with Babylon exporter plug-in.

• Left-handed world.
• Rendering loop: 60hz.
• Lines are drawn with Bresenham’s algorithm.
• Triangles are filled with Scan-Line algorithm.
• Visibility problem is solved with Z-Buffer.
• Gouraud Shading for handling lightning.
• Fixed point of light.
• UV coordinates for texture mapping.
• Data loaded from Babylon JSON files:
  • Mesh: Name / Vertices / Faces / Position / Rotation / Texture / UV coordinates
  • Texture: Name / ID / Image file name
