## About Mocha

Mocha is a simple cross-platform 3D OpenGL core-profile rendering engine to render 3D objects in real-time supporting physically based rendering algorithms and scene loading.

If you're familiar with 3D viewing applications, a main point of inspiration for this project is Sketchfab and Marmoset Viewer. Performance is not a priority, but being GPU based and only handling small scenes, this should not be a major issue.

---

Features planned:

- [ ] Physically based materials and rendering. 

- [ ] Scene and object loading. .OBJ and .USD formats planned.

- [ ] GUI using ImGui.

  - [ ] Material editor.

  - [ ] Camera controls.

  - [ ] Lighting adjustments.

  

- [ ] Skybox HDRI

- [ ] Post processing ???

## Building

CMake should install all dependencies to the '/dependencies' folder.

Your system should support OpenGL 3.3. It has been tested to build on Windows 11 using MSVS compiler. 

Common problems: 

- Python 3 command not executing.

- "No module found named glad"              

Make sure Python 3 is in your PATH and glad is installed.

Running `pip install glad` should do the trick.
