🚀 3Dzavr - Light C++ Game Engine

About:

3Dzavr is yet another 3D engine for C++ that uses SDL as multimedia framework.

Motivation:

Initially this project was created as a Proof Of Concept in implementing custom CPU render from scratch.
Gradually, 3dzavr became more like a very simple version of big engines like Godot, Unity or Unreal.
Our goal is to create light and easy to use/study/contribute Open Source and free engine, which anyone can access and use in whatever purposes.
But the main goal is to have fun! You are welcome to use and contribute!

Main functionality:

• Operations with vectors, matrices, triangles etc
• Projections from 3D on 2D plane, movement and rotation of camera and meshes
• The custom light component system
• The system of attachments and hierarchy tree
• Advanced smooth animations by using Bézier curves for meshes and camera
• Collision detection (GJK) and resolution (EPA)
• Resource manager and other useful utils
