Week7 Summary

First thing first as promised last week i finally able to make my very first own robot moves!Haha!Ya it was really cool.
For this week we touch on implementing light source to our robot and material.This not only makes our whole robot lights up it also gave it slightly reality look.
This week it is not really tough,for me it is a pretty straight forward practical.We just need to add on light to our previous week robot and it will be perfect.
I alter a bit with the ambient,specular,diffuse and position for different lighting look.
So by the end of 2 hr this is my final product!

So this is it again i make it with lighting.You can see it that ths colour stands out a bit more than the previous week.I make out 4 robots to make it look as if it is pedestrian walking!

Week 6 Summary

This week the most interesting part is when we finally starts on coding out our own robot.I should said it was really cool!This robot is actually just a small platform for us to start on our own assignment 1 for computer graphics.
I still have a bit of problem to make my robot moves but at least managed to make out the robot itself.
But i promise before i start on my assignment 1 i make sure i get a hang on making my robot moves!
Again here is the my own so called final product of this week practical!

This is then!My first Robot!!!!Yey!

Week 5 Summary

This week we touch viewport and transformation!I learn how to scale,shape and translate shapes using open glut for 2D and 3D.It seems to be very easy but it looks harder then it seems.
We also learn Matrix Stack using "push and pop"to add and remove element from the stack.It took me a while to fully understand to be exact 3 whole days.
Then during the practical Miss Tan wants us to try out doing a 3D cube first before trying out the solar system.It is really the toughest ever in ComG i totally have no idea on how to start but to start out with a sphere.
I just finally with some help from friends manage to make the solar system rotate.
This is the final product of week 5 practical:

And that's all for week 5!

Summary of Week 4

This week in lecture we finally touch on the very interesting of 3D design.At first when inside the lecture the topic was very complicated to understand.I had a very hard time concentrating on the lecture.
But when i finally do and try what she taught us in the lecture during practical,everything came alive.It was not really that hard to understand it is almost like last weeks practical lesson just that it takes more thinking and drawing on paper.Last week we touch on 2 different coordinates to design our 2D shapes but this week is 3 coordinates.
With an extra Z it does really make a difference in the whole thing.I have to estimate more where the rectangle is going to end up on the program screen.
Then later we have to code more then 6 time for each side of the rectangle to let it to look 3D.It was a really tedious job.But still managed to done it after much effort.Although it does not look nice.The following screen shots is the product of week 4 practical.

This is it then!
