GeoMesh

About the Project

GeoMesh is a C++ and OpenGL-based renderer for digital elevation models (DEM). It visualizes terrain in 3D space and provides multiple rendering modes for exploration.

This project is under active development and will gain new features such as directional lighting and higher-detail tessellation in the future.
