I have been catching up on OpenGL 4.4 lately and realized that there are few working examples on the newer versions of OpenGL. The following code uses Assimp, GLFW and GLEW to load and render all supported Assimp formats and requires OpenGL 3.0 or above.
You will be required to set up an OpenGL context, I will presume that you have the knowledge to do that (if not, I can recommend this tutorial from opengl-tutorial.org).
To use the Mesh class, this is all that is required:
Mesh *mesh = new Mesh("filename.dae");
while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window)) {
mesh->render();
}
delete m;
The combined source and example shaders can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
