Resit Coursework Assignment Brief Semester: C16 Module Code: PC205 Module Title: Computer Graphics Programme Computer Science Level: Level 5 Awarding Body: Plymouth University Module Leader Eman Alazawi Format: Code & Commentary Any special requirements: All work should be submitted on the Student Portal along with an acceptable TurnItIn Report. Min word count: There is a limit of 1000 ±10% words for task 1 in your report and no limit for the rest of the tasks (these tasks shouldn't require large word counts). Deadline date for submission: Submit to Turnitin by on Thursday 11th August 2016, at 2pm/Week 10. Learning outcomes to be examined in this assessment • Demonstrate an understanding of computer graphics principles and the application of vectors and matrices to graphical problems. • Implement 2D graphics programs using a graphics application interface and implement 3D graphics programs using the open GL. • Assess the suitability of particular key technologies and techniques for different application and problem areas. This assignment is worth 50% of the total marks for the module Candidates must clearly label their ID Number on additional separate reference, formula or answer sheets. The required development environment: Using the Visual Studio Development Environment of your choice (worth 100% of the total marks for the assignment), Coursework: 3D Rendering of any Two Shapes This section describes the main aim of this coursework task. Before you start this task, make sure you have read and understood the sections on the environment and data formats at the end of this document. This coursework exercise is a practical programming exercise which should be done using OpenGL. Robust reflections use stenciling. Robust projected shadows use both stenciling and polygon offset. I insist that you do not collaborate with anyone on this piece of work. You may discuss high level issues as laid down in the computer science assessed work guidelines. Try to keep your code and the use methods as tidy, do not tell anyone about your Innovation and novelty in the animation. Write a 300 words self-reflective commentary about the design and development experiences you had while undertaking the assignment, and what you learned about your own work practices as a result. The required development environment: Using the Visual Studio Development Environment of your choice. You can program either in C or C++. The goal of the coursework is to develop 3D rendering of any Two Shapes, to show how to combine texturing, lighting, rotation and projected shadows all in real-time with OpenGL. You should write a program that displays a virtual world with 3D object (any two shapes). Successfully rendered object will have the following characteristics: • Looks realistic. Objects could be colored, textured, show varied light sources, and object should be relevant to the scene; • Has some movement and rotation; • Can be viewed from different positions/angles (viewing/projection); • Allows user controlled viewing (keyboard and mouse inputs) The student should ensure that his/her program runs independently and without error on a machine (particularly if you have used the libraries at home on a PC) and that all required parts (files, including textures) are contained in your submission. The substantial comment must be included at the top of the program which includes your name, course, year and a statement that this is your own work. This comment should also include a description of what your program does (i.e. how to *combine* texturing, reflections, and projected shadows all in real-time with OpenGL). Deliverables You must present the outcomes of coursework in a report format. Additionally, email your programme (not report) to your tutor ([email protected]) as a zip file. However, your score and feedback will be based only on your report. Cover Page: Assignment title, module code, full name and student number as well as submission date. Table of Contents: A list of all of the sections, headings and sub-headings, appendices and figures should be provided as well as all page numbers as clearly as possible. Introduction: This should summarise your response to the task and the strategy you are presenting. Development Log This is the substance of your report. You should take your reader through screen grabs of the functioning program, code snippets and explanations of that code. You should use your experiences to structure your log, clearly demonstrating how you addressed each of the requested tasks and demands. Headings and sub-headings should be used to clearly indicate the different sections addressing all the sections of the marking criteria, screen grabs of code sections such as algorithms should be pasted in the main body and explained. References: All the named sources you have quoted from or reproduced in your report. Please use The Harvard System for all references. Details for the Harvard System can be found on the student portal. Self-Reflection: A self-reflective commentary about the design and development experiences you had while undertaking the assignment, and what you learned about your own work practices as a result. Conclusions: These draw together your findings. Reiterate and explain how you have met the requirements of the coursework brief. Appendices: Full source code should be pasted in this section as text, NOT screenshots of the code. Total Marks: 100   1.
