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; constant and gouraud 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 unix.ic using:
  submit cmps260-ap.w03 prog1 files-to-submit
• Documentation: program structure, data structure, user guide, features, cool pictures (about 6 pages for everything). You can set this up as a web page too. The color printer in the board office is called color.
• Demo: on 2/7/03 in room 230BE allow about 5-7 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 .

• PAPERS
  • progressive radiosity
  • incremental radiosity

• SAMPLE PICTURE

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

• DATA

  Bunch of graphics models are available here .
  You can also use other models on the web. For example, VRML indexed face sets are very similar to the graphics model files above.
  Likewise, you can use other 3D modelers to customize your own objects.
