Graphics Homeworks Cloth & Fluid Simulations, Shadow Volumes in C++ and OpenGL.

Overview

These were homework assignments for Advanced Computer Graphics: hw2 - simulation (cloth and fluid simulation), hw4 - pipeline (the stencil buffer and other GPU features). Both assignments were coded in C++ using OpenGL.

My Contributions

Cloth Simulation

• Explicit Euler integration for cloth animation
• Iterative adjustment for overstretched springs
• Timestep adjustment to combat instability

Fluid Simulation

• Three-dimensional velocity interpolation
• Fluid incompressibility using divergence correction

Stencil Buffer and Shadows

• Mirror rendering using reflected geometry and the stencil buffer
• Shadow volumes using silhouette edges, shadow polygons, and the stencil buffer
• A procedural wood shader with geometrical rings and both color and normal variations (not shown)
