Keyframe Editor

2022

I developed this project for a masters course as part of my studies in belgium. I had no prior experience with OpenGL and native C++, which required me to work my way through LearnOpenGL tutorials before implementing the relevant algorithms.

The application implements the following concepts shown in the three videos on top of this page:

• It allows for Free Form Deformation of a loaded 3D mesh by 8 grid points.
• The grid points position and the 3D mesh's pose can be animated over a fixed period of time by 5 keyframes.
• A third degree bezier curve, that can be used as a path for smooth camera motion and is rendered with forward differencing.
• A simple particle system with a few adjustable parameters and optional gravity.
• A small user interface made with Dear ImGUI to control user-adjustable parameters.
