MatEdit

Project Overview

MatEdit is a user-friendly graphics material editor that will allow a developer to adjust and preview material properties on an object. These basic properties currently include diffuse, ambient, and specular colors. MatEdit has a pre-loaded library of textures for the programmer to choose from and will have the option to import textures in the future. Once the programmer is satisfied with his adjustments, MatEdit can generate the appropriate code to achieve this special look.

Goals for this quarter
