Computer Graphics (Shapes)

I learn new things in computer graphics which is making shapes. Basically it is plotting points on the screen. For example, the points (1,0) (3,0) (2,1). Once you ploted them the area inside is colored but you have to set the color before plotting. So I learn to make triangles, squares and much more. Either use 2 triangles to make a square or use a quads. With quads you can make many different shapes. Below are what i have make using many different things.




Making a square was tricky at first because you have to plot in seqeunce from 1 side to another.
For example

glColor3f(0.5,0.1,0.9);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
(1)glVertex3f(-1,-1,0);
(2)glVertex3f(1,-1,0);
(3)glVertex3f(1,1,0);
(4)glVertex3f(-1,1,0);
glEnd( );

You can't swap (2) with (3) or else the shape won't be a perfect square even though if you think about it, the points should make a sq but it dosen't work that way.

Computer Graphics

This is what I have learnt during Computer Graphics module in my course. It is done using C++ with sine wave. It is quite fun to play around with the colours.

This picture above is what they called Meltdown. Although in my case i change it a little to make it go from bottom to up. The original which is from top to bottom can be used to make it looked like blood is dripping downwards like is a gore/horror movies.


Overall i find that learning Computer Graphics is getting interesting although i kinda hate doing C++ but since the lecturers were kind enough to give out the codes for us to play. It's kinda fun now.

(Ignore the stupid face. Was fooling around with PixelPloting)

Mathematics I Recap

I don't remember much anything now. I need to do the actual work to refresh my memory. What i remember is matrix mostly. Vectors are what i'm not quite good at.
