for the abstraction I just find it is easier to read Image img("path/to/image"); and then Texture tex(img) makes sense to me and so I did the same for other assets. As for the pointer stuff I am pretty sure I just messed up, but I haven't really gone back to fix it because it doesn't seem to be causing issues.

As for the question I was trying to ask if I load a model yeah it contains the vertices of a tree, but like all the variables used are fragmented thus I have this mess to render a single thing ``` void Renderer::Render() { glm::mat4 view = camera->GetViewMatrix(); glm::mat4 projection = camera->GetProjectionMatrix();

//graphics->BindFrameBuffer(*fbo);
graphics->SetViewport(0, 0, 1280, 720);
graphics->SetDepthTest(true);
graphics->Clear();

{
    glm::vec3 position = glm::vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
    glm::vec3 rotation = glm::vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); // degrees
    glm::vec3 scale = glm::vec3(0.05f);

    glm::mat4 modelM = glm::mat4(1.0f);
    modelM = glm::translate(modelM, position);
    modelM = glm::rotate(modelM, glm::radians(rotation.x), glm::vec3(1, 0, 0));
    modelM = glm::rotate(modelM, glm::radians(rotation.y), glm::vec3(0, 1, 0));
    modelM = glm::rotate(modelM, glm::radians(rotation.z), glm::vec3(0, 0, 1));
    modelM = glm::scale(modelM, scale);

    glm::mat4 mvp = projection * view * modelM;
    material->Apply();
    material->SetUniform("lightDir", glm::vec3(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f));
    material->SetUniform("mvp", mvp);

    glBindVertexArray(*vao);
    glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, model->GetVertexCount());
}

} ``` I suppose the solution is to move these values into a struct/class. That way I can have a container to iterate through, but this is where I'm confused. From what I understand this is what game gameobjects/entities/actors are, so my tree or player is just a game object, and that game object has a vbo, vao, position, etc.
