HW#1 --- last modified March 02 2019 21:14:44..

Solution set.

Due date: Feb 14

Files to be submitted:
  cassini.cpp
  spline.cpp

Purpose: To become familiar with quadric surfaces and polyhedra. To work with splines

Specification:

For this first homework you will write two short programs in C++ using OpenGL. The first program should be contained in the file cassini.cpp . When compiled and executed it should open a window and render a scene of a rocketship orbiting around Saturn. I want you to use as many of the GLUT/GLU polyhedra and quadric functions as possible in this scene. (Use at least four different kind of functions.) The second program should be submitted in the file spline.cpp . When compiled you can run it from the command line with a line like:

spline 5 1 1 2 3 4 5 5 6 7 7

It should then open a window and display a cardinal spline with t=1/2 going through the five points: (1 1), (2 3), (4 5), (5 6), (7 7). Your program should of course work if a different number and choice of points were used.
