Solution set.

Due date: Apr 11

Files to be submitted:
  carpet.zip

Purpose: To do experiments with physical modelling techniques, fractals, visible surface detection techniques, and lighting.

Specification:

For this homework you are to create an animation of a flying carpet flying through a night time city skyline. Your carpet should make use of physical modeling techniques based on springs and the force of gravity to set up how it ``hangs'' in the sky. The carpet itself should have a pattern on it generated using a shape grammar of your choice. It is up to you if you have someone riding the carpet (if you don't maybe draw a happy face on the carpet). Your carpet should fly in front of some buildings and behind others, so you should enable OpenGL depth testing. Fireworks should be going off in the sky and these should be created with a particle system. Lastly, your scene should make use of OpenGL lighting in some way.
