Summary

Foxotron is an open-source, general-purpose ASSIMP based general purpose model viewer ("turntable") created for the Revision 2021 3D Graphics Competition. The viewer uses OpenGL 4.1 for rendering, includes PBR lighting shaders for realistic surfaces, and makes use of HDR textures from the HDRLabs sIBL archive. The project code is mostly public domain, making it accessible for learning and experimentation. Building the project requires CMake, and additional libraries like Dear ImGui and GLFW are included.
