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.

2D Contouring and Color Maps

The purpose of this project was to visualize how Mount St. Helens was changed by the eruption of 5/18/80. I used Historic Digital Elevation Models (DEM) from the United States Geological Survey website. The terrains have a color map to show the elevations and also has 2D contours at proper elevations to highlight distinct heights. The terrains […]

Phong Shading, Garoud Shading

The scene is a 4-sided room containing a polished gold metallic sphere, polished copper metallic teapot, and polished silver metallic torus. I created an interface control which allows switching between vertex Gouraud shading and per-pixel Phong shading.
