Graphics II

---

In this module, I created a basic game engine featuring: 

• terrain rendering from a terrain map with basic directional lighting 
• a moveable camera
• translation and scaling of a model in real-time
• correct implementation of a scene graph system including mesh nodes and mesh rendering.

This module was an interesting challenge after Graphics I as it built upon that knowledge but at a significantly higher level as we were no longer directly doing shader programming ourselves but instead using the power of DirectX 11 we could begin to produce a game engine rendering significantly larger areas whilst maintaining significantly improved performance. 

This was my first experience working with a major library with the scale and depth as with DirectX11 and this improved my ability to effectively manage and develop in larger codebases with more complex documentation and a wider range of versions.
