Procedural Textures

The terrain was created using the same method as the “Procedurally Generated Terrain” project. The procedural texture is based on a noise algorithm. The trees are a texture-mapped image of a tree onto a rectangle. The alpha channels of the tree are transparent. The trees have billboarding apply so that the tree rectangles turn to face the user and are also drawn from back to front so that the transparency remains correct.

Hatching Shader

This is a shader implementation of Real-Time Hatching, Praun et al. [2001]. The scene contains a real-time rendering of hatching strokes over various objects. They use tonal art maps containing different stroke sizes and density at various resolutions. Using these tonal art maps, we can render strokes on complex surfaces.

Multi-Resolution 3D View

3D terrain visualization program which loads a terrain map file containing unsigned chars. The terrain switches to a half resolution version based on the distance from the viewer. The boundaries between the full and half resolution terrain are “stitched” so that no “holes” are visible in the terrain. The user may navigate through the scene […]

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 […]
