Graphics Engine / OpenGL Rendering

Built an XML-driven OpenGL renderer with VBOs, spline paths, and Bézier surfaces.

The XML scene format describes assets and transforms. The renderer supports Catmull-Rom spline paths, Bézier patch tessellation, and lighting and texture mapping.

Highlights

• Implemented a rendering pipeline using VBOs and reusable geometry primitives.
• Added Catmull-Rom spline paths and Bézier patch tessellation.
• Integrated core lighting/mapping techniques for realistic shading.

What I did

• Designed scene format (XML) and loader pipeline for assets and transforms.
• Implemented rendering core with VBOs and GPU-friendly data structures.
• Built geometry generation features (splines, patches) and rendering utilities.
