FdF – 3D Wireframe Landscape Renderer

FdF (short for Fil de Fer, French for "wireframe") is a graphics project developed as part of the 42 School curriculum. It reads a .fdf file containing elevation data and renders a 3D wireframe model of the landscape using .

🖼️ Project Overview

The program parses a grid of height values from a .fdf file and visualizes it as a 3D wireframe model. Each point's elevation influences its position in the 3D space, creating a relief map.

Each number represents a point in space:

• The horizontal position corresponds to its axis.

• The vertical position corresponds to its ordinate.

• The value corresponds to its altitude.

🚀 Features

• Isometric projection rendering
• perspective projection rendering
• Dynamic zoom and pan controls
• Elevation scaling
• Color gradients based on elevation
• Keyboard controls for interaction

🛠️ Installation

Prerequisites

• A Unix-like operating system (Linux or macOS)
• gcc compiler
• make utility (if you are welling to compile using the Makefile)
• MiniLibX library ... if you dont have it yet you can follow this doc to install it: 42docs

Building the Project

git clone https://github.com/ErabaReta/fdf.git
cd fdf
make

📈 Usage

Run the program with a .fdf file as an argument:

./fdf path/to/map.fdf

Sample maps are available in the test_maps/ directory.
