3D Rendering Engine in Love 2D

[DwayneDev]

I took a course for 3D geometry and applied the math's to Love 2D to draw 3D shapes.


-didn't use CPML or any Shaders

-wrote a parser to load .obj files and map UV Texture coordinates to mesh objects.
-The program passed drops below 60 fps passed 30,000 tris - does anyone has any optimization tips for 3D in Love 2D?

-the UV coordinates read from .obj files will display incorrectly if the models vertices are closed together. if the mesh is cut to make the shape open the UV texture displays accurately. I don't know why this is the case so far, I expected the texture would display the same as it does in my blender project but perhaps I need to do something else with the UV coordinate data from the obj?

running with Higher poly Deer models exceeding 30,000 tris gets around 30 fps on my laptop. It's not love its me, any tips on how to improve the fps?
So far I've compacted matrix calculations and got performance improvements anything else I could do?

Just download the zip and run the love files inside: it needs to read .obj's from the same directory to work because I didn't set up the filesystem. :^P

Here's the git if you want to see the code, I tried to code it in an Object-Oriented way with inheritance:

A priori I can only think of backface culling, if you're not using it already.

Yeah I turned on the back face culling feature. Doing the matrix math with a gl calls in a shader wouldn't make this faster would it?

You should ask Shell32 on the discord server. He's doing some amazing stuff with 3D and may give you some tips.
