Coursework

•   Example: a simple point drawing application.
  •   Source code: ex1.cpp.
  •   Microsoft visual studio project file: ex1.dsp.
  •   Linux (Redhat 7+) makefile: Makefile.
  •   GLUT library: GL.zip.
•   Example2: Rotating spheres.
  • Source code: robot2.cpp.
  • Microsoft visual studio project file: robot2.dsp.
  • Linux makefile: Makefile.

         Instructions Win2000: put points.cpp and points.dsp in a folder. Unzip GL.zip in the same folder.
         It will create a folder called GL. Copy GL/glut32.dll in a directory that is in your path or
         WINNT/system32.

•   Assignment 1:
  • Template robot.cpp.
  • MS visual studio 6 project file: robot.dsp.
  • Linux Makefile: Makefile. Do "make robot"
  • GLUT library: GL.zip.
•   Assignment 2:
  • Template code: colormap.cpp.
  • Test image in PPM (P6) format: test.ppm.
•   Assignment 3: Use this code if you find it useful.
  • Matrix inversion matinv.c.
  • Ray to polygon intersection raypoly.c.
  • Here is an example scene and the associated povray file: scene.tif (900K), scene160x120.tif (58K), scene.pov (2K).

  Keep in mind that this is a much better quality rendering than the one you have to do. You will bounce the rays 2-3 times
  maximum. Also, povray has the camera looking at the positive z-axis.
