This project is where I really let my creativity out of the box during my OpenGL class. This project was really about lighting, but I took things a step further by implementing my own OBJ file loader to load in a model I created in blender. All we really had to do was create two colored lights and a moving object that would move between the lights. Having done the helicopter in a previous project I thought it would be really fun to use that to animate a little city scene and the result was pretty good. It was with this project that I realized how much power OpenGL really had and what I could do with it. After this project I really started to connect the dots on how game engines work and how I could create a simple engine.

The object loader code for this project was super messy and a little unplanned so I won't include it here.
