Progressive Radiosity

Write a program to implement progressive radiosity. Program should be written in OpenGL and the GUI in fltk. You must have at least one object and one area light source in your scene.

You have a lot of flexibility in terms of how sophisticated you want your program and/or interface to be. For example, highlighting the current shooting patch; wireframe and smooth shading; orthographic or perspective projection; different data object(s) to manipulate; etc.

As an extra, you can implement incremental radiosity also.

Deliverables:

• Program: include source, executable, and makefile or equivalent. Submit these electronically on teach.ic using:
  submit cmps260-ap.s02 prog1 files-to-submit
• Documentation: program structure, data structure, user guide, features, cool pictures (about 6 pages). The color printer in 237BE is called color.
• Demo: on 4/18/02 in room 230BE allow about 10 minutes per project to show off your program. We have access to SGI's, Suns, and Windows NT box. Give me advance notice so that we can test out your program before the demo.

Relevant Info:

• FLTK

  The fltk package is in the /projects/public/fltk directory on the cse machines. An executable of fluid for windows is available by clicking: fluid.exe . Some sample opengl/fltk programs are available here. Best place to start is with simple .

• SAMPLE PICTURE

  Here's a sample radiosity image from a student's project some time ago.
