Course Evaluations


This is the final course evaluations. 

Final 3: 3D Group Building Project

In this final exercise the class worked as a group to create a 3D world. We built a house, garage, pool, fence and more. These pictures show you the progress we made. My personal job was to work on the pool. I added the stairs in which I ogt in the catalogue on Cloud Party. I was also a part of the furniture in and outside the house. I added a dresser, a few picture frames as well as a lantern and a bedside table. 







It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc

Final #1: Flash/Powerbullet .swf Files

For final number one, I was unable to complete. The final requires a windows computer that I was unable to access. While I am living on my own in the NYC I was not able to get a windows computer to download the software. I figured I could download the other software to my Mac computer but the software gave my computer a virus which forced my computer to crash.

7/30 Game Board Rankings

This board shows the start of class

 and this board shows the end of class' points. It seems as though the red team is pulling away from the blue team to take the win. 


Final #2 6 Monocular Depth Cues

Atmospheric Perspective:in this photo you can see that the the things farther away are not as clear as the objects closer to the avatar. 

Occlusion: this is a occlusion because the photo makes it look like my avatar is taller than the boulders but really my avatar is half the size of the boulders

Lighting and Shading: this shows lighting and shading because it shows how the light hits from one side. The litter sides show that that is the side the light is hitting on where the darker sides show the light is on the other side so it is shaded.

Linear Perspective:this photo shows the linear perspective because if you look at the lines very closely you will see that they are not exactly perpendicular as you would expect, they actually veer away from each other to make a v and show the disance from the avatar to the back of the box.

Size Difference: This shows size differences because the blocks and doors that are farther away look smaller whereas they are actually the same size.

Texture Density: the shading shows the texture of the tube.  You can see that the ground is not particularly smooth it has bolts and ridges in it.

Cloud Party House


In this project I created a house using Cloud Party. I used the different tools and objects in the virtual world to create a home for my avatar

WebGL


WebGLis a program that uses Java Scprit API made for rendering 3Dand 2D interactive graphics. WebGL does not use other add-on programs like many other 3D and 2D interactive graphics. WebGL programs have control codes which are written in JavaScripts and Shader Code executed on a Computer’s Graphic Processing Unit. An example of WebGl is Cloud Party, an virtual world that does not require any other plug-ins.
