jgs SER 431 Advanced Graphics Lecture 24: Final Project Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez [email protected] PERALTA 230U Office Hours: By appointment 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 1 jgs § Avoid submit one hour before due date. Prepare your submission (a ZIP file with BMP, OBJ, source code, and executables) and a video showcasing your game (a link to the video is Ok) § Avoid to submit without testing in at least one computer other than the developer Key ideas 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 2 jgs Files and Game The EXE and DLL files included does not run Test it in diverse computers. - 20 Missing BMP or OBJ files - 20 CPP and H files in a folder. Only the files needed - 20 Is it too slow? Test it in several computers. - 20 Is it playable? Not only graphics - 20 It should not be just a big square box. Create rooms, levels, something funny. - 20 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 3 jgs Is it original? - 10 Is it playable? - 10 Have a goal and avoid repetition (boredom) or has a surprise element? - 10 Does it have reasonable winning chances ? - 10 Is there a concept, uniform graphics? - 10 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 4 jgs Graphics 2 viewports Including the 3D game, a map, a dashboard with score or points made 2.5 Mesh data structure. Use several elements OBJ and. Do not forget the concept 5 Text 2.5 It crash (memory or poor performance). Display Lists and Double Buffer to increase performance. It is not only about showing that you know the coding. Highly recommended. - 50 There is a menu that allows to enable an disable features (in blue). Features in the menu are described in the next slides next - 30 Mode Game and Mode Viewer -30 Reshape the window do not destroy the game - 10 10 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 5 jgs There is at least one object (or the camera) controlled by the user 2.5 There are objects moving without player intervention. Again, do not forget the concept and the performance. 2.5 Light (menu on/off). All objects have normal thus the light works correctly 5 Textures with images. Quality, concept and if you make a pattern be careful of the borders. (menu on/off) 2.5 Procedural texture generation (sky, fire, and marble). Quality, concept and if you make a pattern be careful of the borders. (menu on/off) 2.5 Materials. Do not use random values. Review the values for specific materials in the SER 332 slides. (menu on/off) 5 Ligtht Failures Including objects without normal or normal incorrectly set. - 10 Textures with ugly borders (if a pattern fill used) - 10 20 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 6 jgs Collision detection with walls or other objects. It is ok using AABB or other programmatical solution (menu on/off) 10 Draw Bounding boxes (menu on/off) 5 Skybox. You do not need to use all faces, just these that are needed. Performance is important. 5 Multiscale Terrain. (menu on/off) Remember quality and concept. 5 Fog (menu on/off) 5 Planar Reflection (on floor or a reflective wall) (menu on/off). Use stencil buffer. . Remember quality and concept. 10 Shadows (menu on/off). Use stencil buffer. . Remember quality and concept. 10 50 Ghostly elements (errors in collision detection) - 10 Shadows or reflection with errors in blending or direction - 10 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 7 jgs A particle system. (menu on/off). Remember quality and concept. 5 Use Curves (Bezier, Hermite, Chaikin, or B-spline) for object movement or camera movement. Make it make sense for the game 2.5 Define a Glu*Surface (knots and control points) 2.5 Add at least one oscillating flag with an image as logo. Not just a color. 5 A fractal recursive - lighting bolts or trees (a forest) depending of the game. (menu on/off) Quality, performance, and concept are very very important. It should have light and materials or textures. 5 Particle system is missing or not working - 10 Curves (Bezier, Hermite, Chaikin, or B-spline missing - 10 Glu*Surface missing or fail - 10 Fractals missing or fail - 10 Oscillating flag is missing - 10 20 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 8 jgs Video § 5 minutes video showcasing your game. § Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujGW5y1x7Jg
