Homework 1
22C:151 Introduction to Computer Graphics
Due Wednesday, February 11, 1998
- Write pseudo-code (but fairly detailed) algorithms
for (1) creating an octree representation of a scene to
be ray traced, and (2) determining (in order) the octree cells
pierced by a ray.
- Make a WWW page for your course project
(one per group, not per person), and write
and put on the WWW page a preliminary project description
and plan. You do not need to print out the WWW page
for this homework - simply include its URL as the answer
to this question.
Your page should contain at least 4 parts:
- goal: a concise description of the project and the anticipated results.
- approach: describe how you will go about achieving the
goal. Include a list of the technical challenges and
approaches to be used. Also, describe the various components
of the project, giving an initial idea of how the work will
be managed by and divided among group members. List any
reference material books, WWW, etc., that the technical material
of your project is based upon.
- initial plan: create a timeline of project milestones,
describing what you expect to have accomplished by various times.
This should include at least the dates of the three project
presentations and what you anticipate being able to present at
those times.
- progress: create a section on the WWW page where
you will document project progress. There should be at least one
entry per week during the semester. The entries can be
very short - a sentence or two.
NOTE: this is an initial plan, but work on it carefully. A good plan
can help ensure success. You should update your goal (this one should
not change much), approach, plan, and progress (this one should change
often) sections throughout the semester. Cremer and Kearney will look
at the pages weekly.
