This project was the result of an effort to learn raw WebGL. To do so, I decided to make my own code library, with the intention being that I would learn a lot in the process, but would then have my own abstraction over it by the end of the project.

This library, which I called Oomph3D, covered quite a lot of the basics, and perhaps a little more. It supported the concept of scenes, to which you could easily add lights, and there was a selection of camera types: FollowCamera, FreeCamera, LookAtCamera, PerspectiveCamera, and ProjectionCamera.

There were a number of premade shape primitives, such as cubes, cylinders, planes, spheres, and an F shape, that latter of which I believe was in reference to a WebGL tutorial. Each could be assigned a texture or a flat colour.

It also had it’s own custom made animation system which could animate a variety of properties over time and with a variety of easing functions. Animations could even be sequenced on a “timeline”, which would allow for more complex animations to take place.
