TerraVisor

TerraVisor is a 3D visualization tool designed for rendering and exploring terrain data. It leverages OpenGL for high-performance rendering and provides users with interactive features to manipulate and visualize complex terrain models.

Features

Real-Time Rendering: Utilize the power of OpenGL for fast, real-time terrain visualization.
Interactive Tools: Rotate, zoom, and pan the terrain model for detailed exploration.
Custom Shaders: Supports custom GLSL shaders for advanced rendering effects.

Installation

Prerequisites

Before building TerraVisor, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

Git: Used for cloning the repository and managing source code.
CMake: Build system generator used to configure the project.
Ninja: Fast build system used to compile the project.
vcpkg: Package manager for acquiring C++ libraries.

Installation Steps

Clone the Repository:

First, clone the repository from GitLab

git clone http://git.jackmchristensen.com/jack/terravisor.git
cd terravisor

Install vcpkg:

If you haven’t installed vcpkg yet, follow these steps to set it up:

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh   # Use .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat on Windows

Optionally, integrate vcpkg with your system:

./vcpkg integrate install

Install Dependencies:
Use vcpkg to install dependencies:
```
 ./vcpkg install glm glew glfw3 assimp
```
Configure the Project:

Navigate back to the project root directory and configure the project using CMake and Ninja. Be sure to specify the vcpkg toolchain file:
```
cd ..
cmake -B build -S . -G Ninja -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=./vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
```
Build the Project:

Build the project using Ninja:
```
cmake --build build
```
Run the Application:

Once the build process is complete, you can run the TerraVisor application:
```
./build/TerraVisor
```
