This assigment involves rendering a realistic image of an ob ject or scene of
your own choosing. The scene or object should be challenging enough to
require you to design and implement an advanced rendering algorithm; for
example based on the techniques from the last 3 weeks in class, such as:
•Monte Carlo ray tracing
•Path tracing
•Soft shadows
•Radiosity
•Photon mapping
Project proposal
Send a project proposal consisting of an image, a short text motivating why
this is an interesting object to render, and possibly a few pointers to papers
describing the techniques that you plan to implement. Proposal deadline
Grading
This assignment will account for 1/2 of the final grade or more in case your
project is truely outstanding. The evaluation includes novelty, technical skill,
and the quality of the rendered images produced as part of the assignment.
Note that several thousand lines of code by itself does not make a good
project.
If more people work on the same project please identify what part of the
code that each person implemented. This will be used for the purpose of
individual grading.
For this assignment you should make a 2-3 page summary descrip-
tion of the project in addition to the original proposal. Submit the
text and the source files (all .cpp, .h and makefile - not object files)
