CS488 - Spring 2007 - A5 - Objectives

Typical Objectives from Past Terms for OpenGL projects

These are objectives from projects doing games and/or animations. a. to e. indicate different projects. Objectives under the same number would be mutually exclusive. These objectives are telegraphic and incomplete. Every one needs an explanation of how it enhances your project.

   e. Texture mapping onto airplanes
4. a. Make cloth transparent.
5. a. Gaussian lighting model to make cloth look smooth.
6. a. Collision detection of cloth with static objects.
   b. Collision detection in character motions.
   c. Static collision detection
