The 42-FdF project is part of the 42 school's curriculum, focusing on graphics programming. The objective is to develop a program that reads a file containing a grid of height values and generates a 3D wireframe representation of the corresponding landscape. This project enhances understanding of 3D projections, transformations, and the use of graphics libraries in C.
- 3D Wireframe Rendering: Generates a 3D wireframe model from a 2D grid of height values.
- Isometric Projection: Displays the 3D model using isometric projection for better visualization.
- User Interaction: Allows users to interact with the model through keyboard inputs, enabling rotation, zoom, and translation.
- Color Gradients: Applies color gradients based on height values to enhance visual representation.
Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/jdecorte-be/42-FdF.gitcd 42-FdF
Compile the Program:
This will compile the source code and generate thefdf executable.
To run the program, use the following command:
Replace[path_to_map_file] with the path to a valid.fdf file containing the grid of height values.
Controls:
- Rotation: Use the arrow keys to rotate the model along the X and Y axes.
- Zoom: Press
+ to zoom in and- to zoom out. - Translation: Use
W,A,S,D keys to move the model up, left, down, and right, respectively. - Z-axis Scaling: Adjust the elevation scale using
Page Up andPage Down keys.
The project relies on the MiniLibX library for graphics rendering. Ensure that theminilibx_macos directory is present and properly configured. The project also includes a customlibft for various utility functions.
- src/: Contains the main source code files for the project.
- src_bonus/: Includes additional features and enhancements.
- libft/: Custom library with utility functions.
- minilibx_macos/: MiniLibX library for macOS.
- Makefile: Build configuration file.
