Assignment 0

This is a non-graded assignment for those students using their own PC's. Ensure that your environment is set-up correctly, that you can develop Windows Forms applications with OpenGL, and that you can submit them to be graded. Go through HW #1 on the machine you intend to use. Also:

1. Ensure you have a zip-utility and an FTP utility to wrap-up your projects and submit them to the CSE account.
2. Log-on to the CSE UNIX environment.

Assignment 1

For this assignment, you will take as input a XML file and produce a graph. A basic software template is provided to aid your through your first assignment. There are several . For users not using the .NET framework, download an XML toolkit. I would recommend the TinyXML toolkit. Look at the C++ for .NET files as the XML Document structure will be similar (if not the same). You will also want to use the std::vector<> class and the std::map<> class. These are equivalent to the List<> and Dictionary<> in .NET. Initial framework files are bleow. Simply look for the TODO sections for areas that need to be completed:

C#

These both use a DLL created with a few base classes. These are described in CSE 581 Software Reference Library. The source code is available for this is C# and is included in the above zip file.

Note: The CL112D machines where updated and the updated Tao libraries were lost. Please unzip this file and place it in your bin/Debug directory with your executable. Tao.OpenGl-2.1.0.11.zip. In Visual Studio, remove the reference to Tao.OpenGl and then Add Reference and browse to this file and select it. You will get a warning error when you now build (which will cause the program to crash). In the Error window, simply double-click that warning message and it will add an app.config file to correct this error (actually I gave you the app.config in the solution already).

We will define the XML file is more detail as the week progresses. Here are some samples:

• Two curves
• Three curves zoomed in

Extra-credit (Maximum 10 points):

1. (2 pts) Add points on the corners of the same width as the border to clean things up.
2. (3 pts) Add a gradient filled rectangle specification in the xml and provide its rendering.
3. (5 pts) Track the mouse position and draw horizontal and vertical lines to the axes.
4. (5 pts) Add a few analytical curves that support the ICurve2D interface and can be registered with a name. These can be hard-coded, but you should be able to select them with the XML.

Assignment 2

You will develop a basic world builder with a simple scene graph structure. The complete specifications are here. Spring 2007 and 2005's highlights are slightly different.

The Camera and CameraControler class are provided in this simple test project. To get this test project to work you need to do the following:

1. Add Existing project to your solution. Add your CSE581_Base project.
2. Create a Vector3 class that mimics the Vector4 class
3. Add a cross product to Vector3.
4. Add a Matrix4 constructor that takes and angle and a Vector3. Copy over the one that takes a Vector4 and change the type of the input parameter.
5. Add CSE581_Base project as a reference to both of the other projects.

A sample on how to use it with Visual C++ is included here.

Her is the Form.cs file showing the Serialization at the bottom.

Assignment 3

Add lighting and shading, texture mapping (1D and 2D), and the ability to save your images. More specifications are available here.

If you used the TreeView Control to store your objects, here is a little utility that will allow you to save it to disk and read it back.

Assignment 4

For our fourth assignment, we will continue to improve our scene, as well as our interaction. In particular, we will add details to our objects using texture mapping. More specifics are available here.

Assignment 5

For our final assignment, we will continue to improve our scene, adding a skybox and some ground clutter. More specifics are available here. This will lead us to our annual Spring graphics contest, where we will pick the top results for the course. Your spectacular images/scenes are submitted to the Spring 2007 Image Competition for this class. The class will vote on the best image(s).
