A simple mesh viewer/editor in C++

Features

• Open, view and save modified mesh in .smf format
• Mesh decimation using quadric-based errors
• Butterfly and Loop subdivision

Instructions

• Run make to build the executable
• Run ./mcaq to launch the program
• Run make clean to clean build files

Dependencies

• OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) 2.8.1
• GLUT-based C++ User Interface (GLUI) 2.36
• OpenGL Mathematics (GLM) library

Limitations

At extremely low polygon count (say less than 200 for the Horse mesh), a non-manifold mesh is almost unavoidable due to the local geometry. If we try to further decimate an edge, the non-manifold mesh causes the program to break.
