CS 455 Lecture 5 – Vectors, Matrices, and Meshes
Before Class Meshes Watch http://youtu.be/EWtMydWVozQ. Watch an introduction to modeling: http://cgcookie.com/blender/2010/08/31/blender-intro-to-modeling. Vectors and Matrices Watch http://youtu.be/cMkKKDanIhw. Read http://www.gamedev.net/page/resources/_/technical/math-and-physics/vectors-and-matrices-a-primer-r1832, skipping the sections on determinants, inversion, and projection matrices for now. In class Create a renderer that lets you scale and or translate a tweaked OBJ model with a matrix. (I’ve placed a few models in the W455 directory.) Alter your […]
455 Programming for Mac Users
Hey there, If you’re on a Mac in CS 455, good for you. You’re spared much pain and hardship using VisualStudio. I kinda hate it. Thankfully, Xcode is your friend, and Apple is more than happy to have you come use it instead of Microsoft’s junk. You don’t need to be a paid developer for […]
Accessing thing-[012] from Mac OS X
Hey folks, I thought I’d follow up Dr. Johnson’s tutorial with my own, for Mac OS X users. I posted a brief (2 minute) video on YouTube of how to go about doing this. It’s super easy….and you won’t believe it’s not butter! Here’s the video! [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h29bKyPpr8?rel=0] Go get ’em
