REAL-TIME RENDERER

I. Introduction
The OpenGL rendering pipeline is a technique for real-time, responsive rendering. My implementation focuses on the vertex shader, fragment shader, and framebuffer operations.
The key features of this renderer include:
Customizable tessellation -- This enables rendering in both low poly and high poly styles.
Camera and near/far plane interactibility -- Because the OpenGL rendering pipeline is so efficient, frames can be generated multiple times per second, enabling real-time camera movement and near/far plane adjustment.
Filters -- Using framebuffer operations, a per-pixel filter (black and white) and a kernel filter (blur) can be applied to any rendering.
