EclipseEngine

A 3D game engine made from scratch by 4 university students for the Game Engines subject.

The Team

This team is composed by:

• Marc Gallardo: https://github.com/Marchusky
• Marc San José: https://github.com/marcsjm19
• Miguel Tamaño: https://github.com/migon25
• Oscar Escofet: https://github.com/OscarEFO

Key Functionalities

• File Handling:

  • Supports drag-and-drop of FBX files from any location on the hard drive.
  • Accepts DDS/PNG files for texture application to selected GameObjects.

• GameObject Structure:

  • Each loaded mesh creates a GameObject with three display-only components: Transform, Mesh, and Texture.

• Camera Controls:

  • Right-click + WASDQE: FPS-like movement and free look.
  • Mouse Wheel: Zoom in and out.
  • Alt + Left Click: Orbit the object.
  • Press “F”: Focus the camera around the geometry.
  • Holding SHIFT: Increases movement speed.

• Editor Windows:

  • Console:
    • Logs the geometry loading process from ASSIMP and external library initialization.
  • Configuration:
    • Graph for FPS display.
    • Adjustable settings for renderer, window, input, and textures.
    • Displays memory consumption, hardware detection, and software version information (SDL, OpenGL, DevIL).
  • Hierarchy:
    • Lists all GameObjects; allows selection of GameObjects.
  • Inspector:
    • Displays component details of the selected GameObject:
      • Transform: Position, rotation, and scale (read-only).
      • Mesh: Mesh details with an option to show normals (per-triangle and per-face).
      • Texture: Shows texture size and path, with an option for a checkered texture view.

• General Menu:

  • Options to quit the engine, visit the GitHub page, and view engine information (“About”).
  • Ability to turn features on/off.

How to Use the Engine

1. Drag and drop FBX files and DDS/PNG textures into the engine.
2. Use the camera controls for navigating the scene.
3. Access Editor Windows for GameObject management and detailed information.
