Mesh Fracturing
by Arjun Gupta
The following is a basic mesh fracturing application built in openGL. The program leverages the use of a geometry shader in order to create individual fragments of an object. The geometry shader calculates the normals of each individual fragment and translates the fragment in the direction of its normal.
Technologies Used
- Texture Mapping
- Pitch & Yaw
- Collision Detection
- Geometry Shader
Features
- Randomly generated world of 100 objects
- Free camera movement
- Mouse click detection using axis aligned bounding boxes
- User can control time of the world
Controls
- WASD and mouse to move around the world
- Click on a mesh to fracture it
- Right and Left arrow keys control "time"
- Up and Down arrow keys control the speed of "time"
- Spacebar stops "time"
