Required Image

This is the required image using the high resolution textures.

Code Listing

My source code for project 6 can be found here.

Creative Images

On the left is my creative image. It contains a checkerboard marble floor, using two marble materials with different parameters. There is also a metallic checkerboard box showing the 3D implementation of the checkerboard material. On top of the box is a brown marbled bunny and three texture mapped balls. You can see the reflection of the marble floor in the sides of the box, and the reflections of the balls and bunny in the top of the box. I created the textures for the balls myself, and they are shown on the right. The two beach balls use the same texture, but they use different vectors for the Pole Axis and Prime Meridian Axis.

Design Choices

Not too many decisions needed to be made for this project. Below are some of the design decisions I made:

I followed the recipe for success in the class notes. I created a subclass of Sphere called SpherePolar to use polar coordinates for computing uvw. I also created Checkerboard, PhongMarble, and PhongImage subclasses of my Material class.
I used a three element array to store the checkerboard materials, repeating one of the materials in the first and third positions of the array. To take care of the case of where the material = -1, I index the array by material + 1.
I also extended my checkerboard to 3D.

Extra Credit

I didn't implement the extra credit.
