MINI MAYA

CIS560: Interactive Computer Graphics, PENN Engineering - FALL 2019

C++ / OpenGL

OVERVIEW

This is one of two projects I created as a part of my Computer Graphics course. This individual project involved implementing a basic mini-maya system and interface. The program leverages the Half-edge data structure in order to complete operations efficiently and uses a polar spherical camera.

FEATUREs

• Select and Move Edges, Vertex, and Joints

• Change Color of Faces

• Add Midpoints

• Triangulate Faces

• Catmull-Clark Subdivision

• Face Extrusion

• OBJ Importing (Mesh)

• JSON Importing (Skeleton / Joints)

• Shader-based Skin Deformation: Involved Skinning with Bind Matrices and Joint Weights

Supplemental Features

• Planarity Test: Triangulates faces that are no longer planar when created new midpoints

• OBJ Exporting: So you can save and come back to your creation

• Beveling: A fun extension of face extrusion
