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.
A particle system that uses an attractor force that pulls particles to a respective position in space. These positions were based on vertex positions from an obj file.
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.
A deformable bodies simulator based on a standard non-linear strain finite element simulation as in O’Brien et al. [1999]. This approach required incredibly small time steps.
