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.
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 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 […]
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.
