Frustum Culling in OpenGL

I implemented frustum culling in a provided game engine by Dr. Stephen J. Guy (OpenGL). The project demonstrated the use of vector math to only render object within the view to save computation.

Without frustum culling

lowpfs
A very large scene without frustum culling, only run at 8 FPS

With frustum culling

highpfs
The same scene with frustum culling, at 30 FPS

Level of Detail

I also implemented the level of detail system, which will switch out to a simpler model when the player is far away from the object (typically within a fixed threshold)

Debug Camera

debugcam
With debug camera on, we can see that the engine only render part of the scene where the player can actually see.
