  Labs

  • lab 1: advanced OOP and Vector basics File
  • lab 2: basic vector operators File
  • lab3: planetary physics File
  • universe02.txt File
  • Blender Mini-Lab #1: 6 different types of shapes, 30 shapes total, make something.

  • lab4: dot and cross File
  • Blender Mini-Lab #2: 

    • Both: Use two guide images (pack into the blend file!)
    • Option 1: Model a building from Portsmouth, OH, one solid well-formed mesh (no extra points, no faces within the shape, etc.) [50+ faces]
    • Option 2:  Model the "shell" of your face [chin to cheeks to hairline -- no ears, skull, etc. necessary] (take two images: side and front as guide images).  Use a layout similar to https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/rigging-a-face-mesh.386591/ [50+ faces]
    • Up to double points for high-quality work (that looks like it took a lot of time)

  • lab 5: geometric primitives File
  • monkey.obj File
  • lab 6: raytracer part 1 of 2 File
  • sword.obj File
  • Blender Mini-Lab #3: Use a model from a previous blender tutorial (i.e. not the monkey) and create two materials on the same object (using the material slots).  One should be solid color, another should be an image-based texture.  Up to 20 points for a spectacular job (basic job = 10/10).

  • Lab 7: raytracer part 2 of 2 (lighting and shadows) File
  • tri.obj File
  • smooth icohedron File
  • Lab 8: matrices File
  • Lab 9: matrix transforms File
  • models Folder
  • Blender 4: Create a blobby character with arms and legs, rig it, and animate a simple walk-cycle.  Bonus: Use object-level keyframes to move the character around (not bone-based location keyframes).
