This is a short video of the project I'm working on. It started as an .obj loader. OBJ files can for example be exported with Blender.
So far my program can parse simple .obj files, detect if there are texture coordinates and display a uv texture (if present) on that object. It uses normals exported from blender to allow smooth shading in opengl.
By using gluUnProject and a bounding box it can easily find the object that was selected via mouse click.
Also it can display animations which are only a bunch of obj files actually.

This engraving took about 9 minutes to do. It's the result of a (mostly) black and white image of a candle.

Acrylic cube

Thanks to the Happylab I now have access to a lot of really neat tools. One of those tools is a CO2 laser cutter.
I designed an acrylic cube with Blender (see video below), edited it with QCad and let the laser cutter do the rest.
