Graphics Town

Description

This was the final project in the computer graphics course at Madison. This project required us to write both vertex and pixel shaders. There where a number of requirements on what the shaders needed to do including somehow changing based on the time of day. The town also required a number of different architectures and citizens moving around.

Challenges

This was a really fun project. The biggest achievement was the inclussion of bump mapping in the pixel shader. Other cool features include use of sweep surfaces used to build a fountain, a partical system used to simulate water falling over the fountain, People walking along random paths, a castle, a church, a bunch of houses, windows that light up when night comes,s tars that fade in and out between the day and night, and one of the citizens has a lantern that he carries around to light his way at night.

Results

This project was a lot of fun, here are some screen shots of the final product.
