Basic 3D Scene Creation in OpenGL

This project demonstrates the creation of a 3D scene using OpenGL. The scene encompasses a textured background, composite 3D objects, multiple light sources, and an atmospheric attenuation effect.

Features

• A textured background.
• Five 3D composite objects, each composed of at least five geometric shapes.
• Two distinct light sources with varying lighting colors.
• An atmospheric attenuation effect, specifically fog.
• Efficient rendering using complex display lists.
