Graphics

The following videos display some of the work I have done in graphics.  All of the videos are from my own constructed graphics engine written completely from scratch in C++.

​

The first video showcases the first step of my graphics engine - using perspective, model, and view matrices to display an object from a specified camera view.  Wire frame display and back face culling was also implemented in this phase.  The second video displays the z-buffer algorithm at work alongside entry tables which are being used to color the polygons to a random color.  The final video displays shading and illumination techniques.  Specifically, constant, Gouraud, and Phong shading were used.  Enjoy!

Perspective Vector Display System

This project focuses on reading in data and then using the perspective, model, and view matrices to display the object from the specified camera view. Backfaces were then culled from the polygons and the image was displayed. This project was completed for the first assignment in Computer Graphics II (CSCI 6554) at The George Washington University by John Shepherd.
Scan Conversion and Z-Buffer

Scan Conversion and Z-Buffer

This video displays the capabilities of scan conversion in conjunction with the Z-buffer algorithm. Entry tables were used to color each polygon and then the Z-buffer algorithm was used to remove hidden surface. This video shows inter-colliding polygons to display the usefulness of the Z-buffer algorithm. This project was completed for the second assignment in Computer Graphics II (CSCI 6554) at The George Washington University by John Shepherd.

Shading and Illumination Modeling

This video displays the capabilities of constant, Gouraud, and Phong shading. This project was completed for the third assignment in Computer Graphics II (CSCI 6554) at The George Washington University by John Shepherd.

All of the code that was written for the above projects are hosted on private Github repos.  I am more than happy to share but keep this code private to prevent any academic plagiarism.
