Config files
In this project configuration, input and output data is handled in JSON format. In the code writing and parsing is done via nlohmann json library.
Asteroid Parameters
eclipticLongitude and eclipticLatitude in degrees define spin axis orientation in ecliptic
reference frame. The rotation is defined by rotation phase (rotPhaseForEpoch, in degrees) at an
Julian Day epoch, and a rotation period in hours.
"asteroidParams": {
"eclipticLongitude": <deg>,
"eclipticLatitude": <deg>,
"period": <hours>,
"epoch": <julian day>,
"rotPhaseForEpoch": <deg>
}
Scene
Scene config groups global scene stuff: path to 3D model and OpenGl shaders.
"scene": {
"fragmentShaderPath": "data/shadow.fs",
"modelPath": "data/asteroid.obj",
"vertexShaderPath": "data/shadow.vs"
}
