CS 4731, D Term 2014 Homework 4.
Due on Tuesday, April 29, 2014. 11.59PM



Homework 4 Overview

In this project you will add more realism to your hierarchy from homework 3, by adding lighting, shading, texturing and shadows

Note that all interaction keys that worked for homework 3 should also work in your final submission for homework 4. Some additional keys are required below for homework 4. The keys specified for homework 2 do NOT have to work. Just disable them. The hierarchy should rotate continuously as specified in homework 3.

Homework 4 Preparation



Homework 4 Specifics

The specific features you shall implement in this homework are:

Summary of Your program behavior

Control your scene using the following keystrokes. Notes: No OpenGL fixed function commands (glBegin, glVertex, etc) or immediate mode drawing commands should be used in your program. All drawing should be done using shaders, retained mode, Vertex Buffer Objects, and glDrawArrays similar to the code in your textbook (and in your previous projects)

Submitting Your Work

Make sure to double-check that everything works before submitting. Submit all your executable and source files. Put all your work files (Visual Studio solution, OpenGL program, shaders, executable and input files into a folder and zip it. Essentially, after your project is complete, just zip the project directory created by Visual Studio. Submit your project using web-based turnin.

Create documentation for your program and submit it along with the project inside the zip file. Your documentation can be either a pure ASCII text or Microsoft Word file. The documentation does not have to be long. Briefly describe the structure of your program, what each file turned in contains. Explain briefly what each module does and tie in your filenames. Most importantly, give clear instructions on how to compile and run your program. MAKE SURE IT RUNS before submission. Name your zip file according to the convention FirstName_lastName_hw4.zip
