Project Information

Modelling Seashells

Overview:

Review the handouts given in the first lecture.

Basic Plan of attack for Modelling Seashells:

Research - read the supplied materials, look for other information and inspiration in the library, internet, museum, and beach.

There are four major steps to complete this project:

1. Develop a mathematical model of seashell structure;
2. Convert that model into a three-dimensional geometric model;
3. Develop surface texture using the activator-inhibitor model [optional: more difficult];
4. Render an image of the model, either in real-time using OpenGL and/or a public domain rendering system.
