OaK.viz is a visualization program that allows users to create an environment of their liking with the help of a minimalistic user-interface, thereby providing them with the freedom to explore their creativity to the maximum.
Integrating all the libraries below was a nightmare at times, we had to cut out many different libraries during the process but found the right set which would enhance functionality without creating overarching complexity.
- Freeglut (For window related activities)
- GLEW (For querying and loading OpenGL extensions efficiently)
- ImGui (For all the UI related aspects of the program) *
- ImGui FileBrowser (For additional File Browsing capabilities)
- GLM (OpenGL Mathematics Library used extensively to create our own Matrices and perform certain Computations in a more efficient manner)
- OBJLoader (The Library helps with the reading of the OBJ Files and storing their information neatly within different classes)
- Stb (The Library used for reading .png and .jpg files to be used within Texture Mapping)
Even though we imported a selection of different libraries; the ImGui, ImGui FileBrowser, and OBJLoader Libraries have all been modified extensively by us to include a lot more information. Example: ImGui was overriding the glut Keyboard and Mouse callback functions due to which we had to implement all the functionality such as Camera Movement within their Library. Another Example would be the amount of refactoring performed on the OBJLoader which was not very great originally due to the amount of information which was not being stored and the use of many incompatible and inconvenient data types.

We plan to extend this project and refactor lots of the code using Shader Programming and implement an array of exciting features one of which includes ImGuizmo. We also plan to explore lots of the lower level shader programming extensively to speed up the Application 10x its current state. There are lots more to improve in our opinion, but we are proud to display our hard work over this short length of time and we loved every single minute of it!
