JOGL-Utilities

Some basic utilities to help get a JOGL 3D application off the ground. These are just some helper classes for use with JOGL.

What's Included

A Shader Manager

Simplifies the process of loading a file into an OpenGL SL Program

A Model Controller

Parses .obj (wavefront) 3D model files and turns them into a friendly format that can directly rendered and manipulated in OpenGL

An Animation Holder

Allows for the mass upload and animation using a set of .obj files

Recommended Project Setup

The best way to include this utility as a dependency is to add a build.gradle file containing the following:

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
    	url "https://jitpack.io"
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile ('com.github.dannyflax:JOGL-Utilities:1655b84','org.jogamp.jogl:jogl-all-main:2.3.1','org.jogamp.jogl:nativewindow-main:2.3.1','org.jogamp.gluegen:gluegen-rt-main:2.3.1')
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.+'
}

You can then create an eclipse project from this build file using the gradle eclipse command.

Sample Projects

• Steve's World - 3D Platformer where you can build the map around you
• Platform Maze - Project that makes usage of shaders to create a "shadow" effect as you move around a dungeon
• Microfluidics Simulation - Simulation of a research experiment performed for an engineering class
