PROJECT IDEA: OpenGL Terrain Generator

Lab framework: Lab 5
Using OpenGL, I would like to demonstrate the following computer graphics elements:
- Use a triangle mesh to create a terrain.
- Use a heightmap to determine the heights of each vertices of the mesh to create mountains and valleys
- Add 2D trees onto the terrain with parts that are transparent using the alpha channel.
The Image below is an example of a scene that can be created

PROJECT PROGRESS:

-Triangle mesh made
-Heightmap texture added to mesh

-Heightmap applied
-added lighting

-Added Texture Map

-Testing different Texture Maps
-Changed camera position
-Added a few trees

-Changed camera position
-changed textures
-Added more trees
-Added transparency through alpha channel on trees

Final Result

-final heightmap and terrain texture

-final tree texture (has a white background)

-3 images showing off the terrain and the random tree placement. 100 trees are placed randomly on areas where the height is less than 4.

- Close up images of terrain showing the transparency of the the white areas of the tree texture using an alpha channel.
