Project Title

Terrycloth Bathrobe

• Create a heavily used texture for the animation project (it will have a lot of screen time)
• Use hybrid procedural/texture map techniques to create a flexible texture for use on many nurbs patches

Volumetric Light & Wraparound Lighting Function

• Combine a volumetric light (smoky light) with some advanced non-realistic ligting capabilities

Nurse's Scrubs, Cloth procedural texture

• Create a procedural cloth texture
• Use texture maps for coloring of surface.

3D Resurrection of Classic Video Game

• Adapt a classic arcade video game into the OpenGL age
• Potential games include Spectre, Star Wars, or Tempest (of course this is negotiable)
• 3D flavored game is required
• Considered very difficult

Realtime Blobby Objects

• Optimize your own blobby surfaces technique to display in real time (>15 fps)

Realtime Subdivision Surfaces

• Optimize one of many Subdivision techniques for real time display (>15 fps)

L-System for Trees and Ferns

• Use L-System techniques to procedurally model trees, ferns, and other vegetation.
• Apply appropriate texturing to surfaces.

Fractal Terrain Generation

• Use Brownian noise to create procedural terrain
• Realistically texture the terrain
• Animate a camera through the terrain

Shell Procedural Object and Texture

• Create a sea shell using a procedural object and texture

Cartoon Shader

• Make a shader to display surfaces with a cartoonish style
• Apply it to different models and animations

Pen & Ink Shader

• Write a shader to make objects look like an ink drawing
• Apply it to different models and animations
