Project 2
<http://www.vr.clemson.edu/~andrewd/courses/cpsc405/spring00/hw/proj2.html>

Objectives:

To learn fundamental more 3D graphics techniques (supported by OpenGL):

object selection,
lighting, and
shading.

Motivation:

This project covers direct illumination and shading models.

Due dates:

Project source: 03/14/00

Teams:

You may organize yourselves into pairs to complete this assignment.

If you form a pair, you must specify the ``division of labor'' (e.g., who did what) in your assignment TEAM file (scores will be divided equally, however).

Description:

Write a program to implement a polygonal object renderer:

Add lighting and shading to your object viewer.
Provide toggle buttons allowing the user to switch between three representations of the objects within the window:
- wireframe
- facetted (flat shading)
- smooth (Gouraud shading)
Implement object selection.

Notes, suggestions, and additional requirements:

Use OpenGL to implement shading. Optionally, you may wish to implement lighting ``manually'', e.g., write code to calculate the color intensity at each normal.

What to hand in:

``Professional-quality'' brief writeup (one writeup per team), placed in a TEAM plain text file including:

Names of all participants: Course Id--Section No.

Program features
User guide

Electronic submission of source code: provide a self-contained, gzipped .tar of your project 2 directory, complete with a Makefile and README specifying compilation requirements. Your code MUST compile and run on an SGI O2.

Demonstartion of program on an SGI O2 workstation will be required.
