Notes for Homework 6

• An example executable.
  • Note the trackball (using the code provided below) will work much better than in the example.
  • For Windows (Assumes GLUT is already installed.)
  • For Linux.
• Confused as to what should be in your display callback? Look here to see how I organize mine.
• Material properties as snippets of C code.
• OBJ models of Al Capone, the Stanford Bunny, a Cow, a simplified version of the Stanford Dragon, and the Utah Teapot.
• Download the glm code either as a [tar/gz file] or as a [zip file].
• Download the trackball code as a:
  • Simple C++ class. Available as a [tar/gz file] or as a [zip file].
  • Couple C routines. Available as a [tar/gz file] or as a [zip file].
• For information on how to setup a GLUT menu, see the GLUT specification. In particular, you should read about the functions:
  • glutAttachMenu() (to attach your menu to a particular mouse button)
  • glutCreateMenu() (to create a menu or sub-menu and specify a callback for it)
  • glutAddMenuEntry() (to add a selectable entry to a menu)
  • glutAddSubMenu() (to add an entry to a menu that opens a sub-menu)
• Also, you can examine a snippet of code I used to create the menu in my example.
