Final Project Notes - CSG140 Computer Graphics - Spring 2004

Professor Futrelle

The final project will be to implement ray tracing in a scene with at least two differently shaped polyhedral objects in the same scene. There are a number of options for the project listed below. You may implement more than one option if you like, for a bit of extra credit. Using swept objects in your project is a plus. Using 2D arrays for matrix manipulations is a plus.

• Simple shadows with a single sphere casting the shadow, plus Gouraud shading.
• Soft shadows with a single sphere casting the shadow.
• Depth of field achieved by placing the "screen" at the focal plane.
• Phong shading.
• Phong normal interpolation (a bit of extra credit).
• Basic texture mapping.
• A totally reflecting sphere in addition to the two polyhedral objects.
• Antialising using a "fat pixels" display to show details, using simple objects and a sphere.
• Implement your own clipping procedures.
• Perspective by setting the eyepoint at finite distance.
