Assigment 2: Tesselation

For this assignment, we render a teacup, teapot, or spoon and compute the entire tesselation sequence on it with a wire frame.

Below is a screenshot of the control points being rendered

The next step was computing the tesselation control and tesselation evaluation. When this was completed, it looks like below.

I saved the seperable shaders until the last step, but did not get it working correctly

Assignment 3: Noise

For this assignment, we worked on implementing the Perlin Noise Function which was very similar to the lap. After this function was generated, I then implemented the wood vertex and fragment shaders (the noise function is actually in the wood shader).

Below is a screenshot of the wood fragment and vertex shaders with the Perlin Noise function inside. /

The next step was to add in the time component. To do this, I generated clouds using time just like the lab for the bottom surface (The ground VAO). This is a sepearted shader (Vertex and Fragment) as seen below.

It may be hard to see but the bottom clouds do move around each time step

Assignment 4: Rendering

This assignment introduced us to the POVRAY tool and how to write a program with it. We rendered the mines M for the lab and then in this assignment I added 3 techniques. Tecnique 1 was adding reflection to the M along with phong illumination and a metallic texture. Techniqiue 2 added a reflective surface to the ground (colored like water) which reflects the M and its mirror along with a few other texture adjustments. Techniqiue 3 was adding the rotation to the M. After rending 5 images, it shows the M rotatation counter clockwise.

Below are the 5 images rendered to rotate the M all the way around. /

That's all the assignments so far!
