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 were drawn side by side for comparison purposes.
The purpose for this project was to visualize interactively isosurfaces of a 3D dataset for three levels of resolution. Using the provided datasets, I extracted and rendered an isosurface. I also added two user interface components that allow a user to change the isovalue of the isosurface and level of resolution of the dataset.
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 […]
The scene contains a bump-mapped floor and a bump-mapped swimming fish. The fish is a cylinder which has been warped using a vertex program. The “wriggles” of the fish body are simulated using a sin wave which starts from the fish midline towards the tail. This animation is controlled using an interface which allows the […]
