Texture Mapping

Texture mapped a 4-sided room such that one wall has front-side culling applied. The floor is texture mapped using a checkerboard image and also feature mip mapping. The walls of the room are a repeated brick texture. There is a floating sphere in the center of the room texture mapped with the image of the earth. There is a control feature which “dissolves” the earth image into an image of my face. The “dissolve” is controlled using a set of interface controls which starts/stops/resets and varies the speed of the dissolve. Also included is a lightmap with multi-texturing for the floor. The lightmap only lights a small spot on the floor and acts like a “flashlight”. The interface controls also provides 4 main modes of texturing: modulate, replace, blend, and decal which is applied to the earth texture. Lastly, there is a reflective or environment mapped sphere in the scene which was created using a cube map.

Shadow Map

The scene is filled with 3D objects featuring ambient and diffuse lighting. The objects cast shadows on each other based on the light using shadow maps. The user may move the light source around.

Shadow Algorithms

The scene contains a 4-sided room that are light-colored blue. Within this scene are various objects included a texture-mapped sphere and several stacked objects. There are 3 different shadow algorithms being used: projective shadows, shadow volumes, and shadow maps. Projective shadows from objects will only cast shadows on the floor and room, but not on […]
