CMP 161 -- Winter 2007

CMP 161 -- Programming Assignment 0

Due date:
Midnight FRI, 1/12/07

Objectives:

Make sure everyone has basic computer graphics covered. Review basic camera setup, lighting, shading, picking, object transformations. Also (optionally) learn to use FLTK for the graphical user interface to your program.

Implement the following in stages of increasing complexity:

Read and render the shark coor/poly file in: http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~pang/161/w07/data . Make sure the shark is scaled and centered at the origin so that it is facing the user and occupies roughly half of the viewport space. Allow the user to switch among the three shading modes: (a) wireframe, (b) flat or constant shading, and (c) smooth or gouraud shading. [about 40%]
Add functionality to (a) translate, (b) scale, and (c) rotate the shark. The amount of transformation can be specified using fltk sliders or directly with on the screen by dragging the mouse. [about 30%]
Add a light object (e.g. represented by a sphere) that the user can pick (by clicking on it) and drag around the scene. The light object is an additional light source to whatever default you've already provided in your scene. To distinguish the effects and presence of this new light source, set it to a different color value. [about 30%]

Grading. This program accounts for 5% of your total grade. We must be able to compile/test your code. Therefore, code and accompanying make/project files, etc. must be tested for successful compilation at least on the PCs in the lab. For PC's, we will be using Visual C++. Also be sure to include a README in your submission as to which platform to use.

Submission. Submission must be done using the "submit" command from CATS.

To submit use: submit cmps161-ap.w07 prog0 files
To verify submission use: peek cmps161-ap.w07 prog0

These commands should work from any cats machine, but if there is a problem try it from unix.ic. Create and submit a subdirectory called "prog0". It should contain all the files you have to make your program compile/run. DO NOT include the data file in your submission -- or we will run out of disk space in the submit directory. Approximately 20% of the grade is towards documentation/readability/style/ease of use.
