Solar Eclipse
My idea is The computer graphics elements: 1. Use ray tracing to create planet objects 2. Apply textures to spherical objects 3. Project light from a light source on to objects 4. Direct shadows that are formed by a light source (the sun) To demonstrate my study: 1. Pixel-first rendering 2. Lab 8 ray tracing framework 3. Images from different angles The textures used
My progress so far
2 sphere objects defined
Spheres and light aligned to cast shadow
Randomly generated stars added
Gradient color added
Colors of texture are visible, but row calculations are incorrect
Top half textured
Full earth texture
Moon texture added and shadow casted on North America
lab 15
The lab 8
