Cs123final is a project mainly written in C and C++, it's free.
Final project for CS123: Introduction to Computer Graphics.
Our project implements a mountain lake using Qt, OpenGL & GLSL. It is our final project for CS123: Introduction to Computer Graphics at Brown.
Our project is based on the cs123 lab09 code, and the skybox handling was taken from it, as was the frame buffer handling. We based the terrain generation from the lab07 code, expanded the terrain, and modified it so that the terrain forms the shape of a lake. We implemented bump mapping, depth-of-field, reflection, and refraction. We implemented several shaders.
Our project models water in a mountain environment. We have a fractal-generated terrain in a skybox. Intersecting the terrain is a quad, on which water is modelled.
For bump mapping, we took an image from the Internet (see normal map texture below) and used its colors in the texture as perturbtion normals. These normals were added to the normals of the water quad to alter them a little bit. This way, the water's normals were irregular, making the water ripple. The bump map's location was modified by offset values, and so the bump map is moved through the water quad, giving the appearence of animation.
For depth of field, we rendered the scene into a frame buffer, keeping track of depth values by using the alpha component of color. We then bound that to a texture and blurred the scene through a two-pass Gaussian blur (first in the x direction, then in the y). Finally, we interpolated between the initial scene and the blurred scene to obtain the final scene.
For reflection on water, we rendered the terrain that was above the water level into a frame buffer, which was bound to a texture. Then reflected it about the water plane. Then, we used eye rays hitting the water to determine which point on that texture should be reflected by the water.
For refraction on water, we rendered the terrain that was below the water level into a frame buffer, which was bound to a texture. The reflected and refracted textures were blended in the water.
The program can be run with the cs123final executable, run with qmake, or can be edited in QtCreator using the .pro file.
The following commands can be used:
D - toggles depth-of-field
M - displays the depth values
Left and Right arrows - change the focal range of the depth of field shader
Up and Down arrows - change the focal distance of the depth of field shader
O and P - decrease/increase the blur size of the depth of field shader
