3D Graphics: 3D environment realism for computer games.

Title:

3-D Gaming Environment

Objective:

To learn how to create a 3-dimensional environment that a user can interact with 
and explore similar to an environment that may be used in a 3-D game.

Justification:

This project would allow for me to learn how to design a system to generate a 3-D, 
interactive environment through the use of OpenGL. The techniques used in the 
creation of this program could be applied elsewhere especially in an area such as 
the development of a 3-D game.

Description:

In order to accomplish this project, I would need to write to code to realistically 
render the environment in three dimensions probably utilizing OpenGL for this 
purpose. I would also need to create objects to be placed within the environment 
and provide a way for the user to interact with the environment by allowing the 
user to move within it. I could also program physical elements such as gravity and 
develop a method of detecting collisions between objects.

Limitations:

The main limitation on this project would be time as it will take time to develop 
methods for displaying the environment in addition to creating content for the 
environment.
