Скачать или смотреть C++ Modern OpenGL Heightmap

I couldn't find any height map projects that were using modern OpenGL. Every one was using old fixed pipeline opengl, I used the Windows.h header to import a bitmap image and take each RBG color value average them and divide it by 255 to give me a number between 0 and 1. I put all of those in a 'grid' and their position in the 'grid' was X,Z coordinate. I multiplied all the X,Y,Z coordinates by scaler values that were set to my preference to determine how wide or tall I wanted it. Then all of these values were indexed in the order they should be drawn and drawn using an element buffer.

The only prebuilt external libraries used were GLFW(for window creation and input) and GLEW, all the functions, indexing, importing, conversion, drawing code was written by me. Next step is implementing a method to assign UV coordinates and calculate normals for lighting and texturing.

The current map you see is a 128x128 map, I have used up to 2048x2048. Obviously, the higher resolution image, the smoother the terrain differences.
