CAP4730: Assignment 3

3D Transforms, Lighting, and Shading

---

Assigned: Friday, February 17, 2006
Due: Monday, March 20th, 2006

Objective: Create a 3D virtual world that includes a Cyberware face scan of yourself.

assignment3.zip: Template to load in the face scans.

Scene requirements:

• Create a statue or monument of yourself using a Cyberware face scan. (Its pose should say something about you).
• Provide some hierarchical model that will interact with your statue/monument, such as a helicopter flying around taking pictures, etc.
• Its motion can be automatic or user controlled.
• The entire screen should be filled w/ graphics (that means have a sky and ground with textures, etc.)
• Your model should contain textures.

Rendering requirements:

• Allow the user to toggle spotlights in the scene. The spotlights focus should be movable (either via animations or user control). Note this means textures should be affected by lighting (HINT: look at glTexEnv).
• Allow the user to toggle shading (FLAT and Gouraud) using the ‘s’ key.

Interaction requirements:

• Allow the user to manipulate the view using the mouse.

A. The camera’s view should be centered on the statue’s head.

B. If the user holds down the LEFT mouse button and moves the mouse, the camera should move about a sphere centered at a focus point

C. If the user uses the MOUSE WHEEL or RIGHT mouse button, the camera should zoom in and out

Miscellaneous:

• In the rendering window, display Frames per second
• Write a report (max 1 page, 12 pt font, Times New Roman) that answers:

A. Explain how to run and control your program (1 paragraph)

B. Any online models you used.

C. Explain the visual effect of the shading, and explain the tradeoffs between the two approaches.

Turn in:

· makefile, .sln/project, .cpp, .h – what we need to compile your project.  If you think any additions you might have made would cause problems, please verify w/ your TA.

· .doc or .pdf of your report

· http address of a webpage that includes a screen shot of your statue/monument, and a picture of you side by side. Plus a description of why you chose the pose. We’ll show the best 5 or so in class for fun.
