It's been a while since I posted here but its because I've been *busy*.
First, I created an in-app terminal.
I also changed my rendering pipeline and moved to deferred rending. Its in its early stages but now I can easily handle many light sources.

Finally found some time to finish implementing shadows via shadow maps. It took a little while to find a way to fit calculations for the cube shadow map for the point light but I'm pretty happy with what I ended up with.

After working on some stuff behind the scenes (anti-aliasing, gamma correction ect.) I finally got around to implementing a rudimentary shadow map. Currently it only works for directional light and is a little "fuzzy" but its a start!

Added geometry shaders to my shader program class today. (also fixed a bug causing stretching sometimes). I think I'm about ready to start working on shadow maps.

Finally found some time to put some work in on The Engine(tm) and set up some classes for cube maps and skyboxes. Next, I plan on adding in support for geometry shaders and then I plan on returning to updating how I do lighting.

Quick update on the engine: been busy with other stuff (and also spent way too long realizing i was missing a single glEnableVertexAttribArray call) but I've just finished setting up some upscaling from a constant internal resolution.

After consolidating meshes into one class and creating a whole new class for full models, I've finally gotten together a working (albeit, rudimentary) GLTF model loader. This certainly has felt like the biggest hurdle thus far but I'm sure it won't be the last. youtu.be/NbC1JMLl1oU

Lighting is a go! Set up a few lighting types: point, directional, and spot. Going to organize my code, make a new class or two, and soon it will be time to work with more complex meshes.

Been working on a basic graphics engine in c++ built on OGL (using glad, glfw, and glm), so far I have 3d rendering and perspective via a camera. Up next is lighting!
