3D images in OpenGL
- Basic 3D Graph: Box and Sphere
- Animated 3D Scene
- Other Animation Programs , Solar System, Animated Teapots
- Example Programs by Other People
- Code for scene2.c, pans through a 3D scene by changing X and Z in gluLookAt()
- See how to make "animated gifs"
Project: Robot Program and Make a Movie (short) - Exercise in Transformations:
You design the next Toy Story!
- Translations, Rotations, Scalings
- Construct-a-Robot/Transformer (or similar figure)
  that has individually moving parts
  - Basic design:
    - Torso - connects to Head, Left and Right Upper arms, Left and Right Upper Legs
    - Left and Right Upper Arms - connect to Left and Right Lower Arms
    - Left and Right Lower Legs - connect to Left and Right Lower Legs
- Download robot1.c starter program.
  - Middle mouse button ("both buttons" for 2-button mice): menu
  - Left button: positive rotations
  - Right button: negative rotations
- Download cylinder.c starter program.
  - Draws a 5-sided "cylinder" + a triangle
  - Translated 2 units along the z axis
  - Use left and right buttons to rotate the cylinder
- NOTE: You can also construct another 3D object such as a
  car, tank, pool table with pool balls, or some other shape
  with movable parts
  YOU CAN BE CREATIVE
Link to your "Movie" Project website:
- __ Screenshots of program in action
- __ Description of details of your program. What are the different
  parts of the "robot" that you translated/rotated/scaled?
