My final year project was to write computer software on a PC using Turbo C++ and assembler. This software enables the user to create a three dimensional object defined by points, wireframes and polygons. The object can be moved, zoomed, and rotated in real-time in order to visualize it at every possible angle. A shading effect feature simulating light reflection was included.
