#sorbet3D engine update: I've got camera controls, an input module, flipped OpenGL's Z axis, removed my event system in favor of the one included with entt, fixed up my transform math, and enabled backface culling. until next time! ★ #gamedev #indiedev

Mesh normals! This also comes with a separation of the CPU and GPU data for meshes. You interact with the CPU side and the GPU data is loaded and unloaded on demand as-needed, or manually. It’ll be very easy to do stuff like deleting the CPU data from memory while keeping the GPU data for rendering.

Obligatory step accomplished: integrating the ubiquitous dearIMGUI. This functionality lives in a dedicated Editor DLL, which is automatically loaded by the engine if present at launch. There’s SO much more under the hood that’s been done… 🧵#gamedev #indiedev #sorbet3D

Here's where I'm at now. I've got a proper MVP matrix setup, wrapped the render data for the mesh into a dedicated class that doesn't require recreation from the source asset every frame. I'm now able to manipulate the "camera" via the view matrix and the model with the model matrix.

Got vertex colors working, added a wireframe mode toggle, and started rendering with indices. At this point I'm still recreating all of the render data manually every frame and rotating the verts on the CPU. Also remembered to actually enable depth testing.

Not the very first thing I rendered, but the first rendered mesh loaded from disk is this... poorly executed Suzanne. I was only giving OpenGL verts, no indices. If you do that, you need to provide duplicate verts to form proper triangles. I wasn't doing that, hence the broken result.

This might be the worst description for a piece of media on a streaming platform.

This genuinely shook me to my core. #Oblivion #OblivionRemastered
