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

New Features

• Street Enviroment Scene is automatically loaded when starting the engine
• Transformation and Game Object Hierarchy
  • The user can use the inspector to modify a game object; drop any mesh or texture...
• Improved Resource Management
  • Assets window that shows all assets.
  • The user can drop/import new files and the assets panel.
  • Asset files can be renamed and deleted through the panel.

Extra Features

• Change use of shader rendering settings:

  • "O" for default render.

  • "P" for position shader.

  • "I" for depth shader.

  • "U" for normals shader.

• Functional transformation buttons in the viewport:

  • Translate
  • Rotation
  • Scale
  • Switch between Local & Global transforms.
  • 

• Game Objects AABB visual.

• Outlining Selected objects.

• Viewport and Game Panel separated.

• Panels are dockable and can be separated outside the window.

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.
  • Mouse Wheel click: Pan camera.
  • Alt + Left Click: Orbit the object.
  • 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 window.
  • Hierarchy:
    • Lists all GameObjects; allows selection of GameObjects.
  • Inspector:
    • Displays component details of the selected GameObject:
      • Transform: Position, rotation, and scale (read-only).
      • Texture: Shows texture.

• General Menu:

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

How to Use the Engine

1. Drag and drop FBX files from asset panel and DDS/PNG textures into the viewport panel.
2. Use the camera controls for navigating the scene only inside viewport panel.
3. Access Editor Windows for GameObject management and detailed information.
4. Edit and transform the FBX files using the move, rotate or scale options.
5. Import FBX file into custom file format to the "Library/" folder.
