Buddy's Cel-Shaded Renderer
April 18:Material colours now load nicely.. I am also extracting the material's "shininess" property, but OpenGL's giving me some weirdness when I set the GL_SHININIESS material property.. huh, well I'll keep working on it (after my next exam)..

Although no one uses it much anymore, my texture loader can now load PCX files (as well as BMPs). Let the world rejoice!

Quickly integrated my cel-shading and my 3DS model loading.. the classes need some restructuring in order for them to play nicely together, but I just wanted to see the full effect (and don't worry, I WILL go back and clean up the mess I made). Anyhow, here's some pictures and movies for your enjoyment:
The models were downloaded from http://www.baument.com/. The movies were made with SnagIt (which is some really good software I might add).

After some nutso debugging, I can now "stripify" my models for faster rendering.. I didn't really follow any tried and true algorithm, but instead made one up.. which turns out to be a common "easy" way of stripifying models. For a better algorithm check out STRIPE.
Here are some pictures of a betta, both as individual triangles and after being stripified:

Loaded textures for the 3DS models.. much prettier now!

Created a basic 3DS loader. Much thanks to www.gametutorials for their tutorial on loading 3DS files!

I stayed up late and created a demo of simple cel-shaded spheres.
This idea started to intrigue me after reading this tutorial on the topic.
