3D OpenGL Objectives   -  Program #3B

• Image Files and 3D Surfaces
  
  
  1. The student is able to write a simple filter for an Image file in the PPM or PGM Format.
     
     
  2. The student has applied the graphic image to a surface generated in 3D OpenGL. The surface can be viewed from different angles by either keyboard or mouse routines.
     
     
  3. The student uses some aspect of the image filter in order to relate surface height to the original graphic image.
     
     
  4. The student calculates normal vectors for the 3D surface and properly displays lighting effects.
  
  
  
• Web Page Presentation on 3D OpenGL
  
  
  1. The web page discusses the student's image processing technique and provides example graphics before and after processing operations.
     
     
  2. The web page has several graphic images that demonstrate the manipulation of the 3D image surface.
     
     
  3. There is a link to properly documented computer code for the image processing program on the web page.
     
     
  4. There is a link to properly documented computer code for the surface generation program on the web page.
     
  
  
  
• Extra Credit
  
  
  1. Does either program involve advanced features of OpenGL that go beyond what was required for this course?
     
     
  2. Does either program show exceptional creativity or imagination in design or execution?
