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.
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.
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 […]
Created using the Unity Game Engine for the company Sandboxr. I was hired as a Graduate Research Assistant to help the company create its application. The founders wanted an application that would allow them to import 3D objects that they would then arrange in 3D space. Password: sandboxr
