Final Project - CSE 167 - Student: Nisha Patel
Comments
I rendered a family room for my project. Because I envisioned a room during the holidays, I created
a Christmas tree and presents. The tree appears in the left corner of the room. I created it by
drawingthree solid triangles which got higher and smaller as they went up. At the very top of the tree I have
a yellow light, which can be turned on and off with the number keys. Next to the tree, I have drawn a
blue ceiling lamp which also can be turned on and off (aka disappear). On both the front and the back walls
I have included a window, which looks out into the night. The night scene is a star texture map that I
overlayed on a solid window that I had drawn. On top of the texture map, I drew vertical and horizontal
quads to it look more like a window. I also added four separate quads around the window to outline it.
On the right wall, I have the family portrait wall. Here instead of finding pictures and creating quads to
make a picture frame (similar to the way I handled the window), I found already existing picutres with
frames around them. So I simply used four texture maps for that wall. Next to the pictures, I have
a few presents which I created using cubes. And next to those, I have a red train, whose wheels
have been animated. The train was created using scaled cubes, and the tires are solid spheres.
By using the up, down, left, right buttons, you can navigate around the room. You can also turn both
the lights on and off by pressing "1" for the blue light and "2" for the yellow light.
Although my final outcome does in fact look like a holiday themed room, all of my aims were not met.
I would have liked the train to rotate around the room in a realisitic manner, such that as it moved around
in a circle, the three train vehicles would bend accordingly. I found this a bit difficult and time consuming,
so instead my wheels move =) I would have also liked to have a string of Christmas lights around the room
or on the tree.
