Project Details
Final project for CMPT 361 - Intro to Computer Graphics
Everything here is written by me besides a couple libraries for matrix manipulation.
Overview
Lighting and Shading
- Implemented Blinn-Phong shading for realistic lighting effects.
- Solved specular highlight issues from overlapping lights by rewriting the specular calculation to simply add instead of overcomplicating it with various multiplication steps.
Model Loading
- Debugged many issues with loading the demo model and calculating normals.
- Fixed a critical issue where the depth buffer was not being cleared each frame, which caused the demo model to always load with broken vertices.
Camera and Spotlight
- Implemented perspective camera utilizing matrix operations.
- Overcame challenges in placing and rotating lights, particularly the spotlight, through notable trial and error.
- Fixed a spotlight panning issue by correctly flipping both the x and z axes in the rotation matrix.
