3D!!


So we've gotten to 3D graphics in class. Why is this a big deal? Yes, it's easy to make a simple scence like this using a library like OpenGL... but that's not what we're doing. We're finding all the vertices for all the objects (including the sphere) and transforming the into a 2D space in such a way that it still looks 3D. The images we're rendering are made compleatly by software that we've writtlen, it's no so easy.... Next week I'll have solid objects that are shaded, it should be cool.

It reminds me of when you watch the special features of cgi movies...the beginning stages look kind of like this - simple shapes. So when are you doing a movie? ;-)
