Transformation Hierarchies

Description

This was the second project in the computer graphics course at the UW Madison. The goals was to learn about transformation hierarchies by building virtual construction equipment. Each piece of equipment required several articulating parts that where moved via the user interface. I constructed an excavator, a tower crain, a regular crain and a cement mixer.

Challenges

The biggest challenge in this assignment was modeling the equipment. The second was the transormation hierarchies. With only a few movements it was pretty simple but once the models became more complicated it became much more difficult.
