Description:

An animation (written in C++ / GLUT / OpenGL) involving OBJ modelling, model and camera transforms, multiple phong-shaded light sources, texturing, and a sound player to bring to life the land of Mordor.

• Multiple light source shading, and light transformations
• Creating VBO's for OBJ models taken from turbosquid.com
