Bicubic Bezier Patches

README.md

Name of File containing main

  • Source.cpp

Name of File with line numbers implementing SURFACE NORMAL

  • Source.cpp: 408 - 745

Details

  • The code is implemented as modular as possible and command-line arguments are set as parameters to Parameters Class
  • bezier is the function which implements the general bi-cubic bezier patch equation
  • computeSum implements the sum part of the equation
  • convertNorm1 & convertNorm2 are used to generate Tangents
  • normal is the function to generate normals
  • flatshade is the function for the general Triangle Indices
  • Additional Functions are present to print out the curve coordinates and Input points to the console in .iv format
  • The file patchPoints.txt contains some default point options
  • filename.txt consists of the other example given in the specification of the Assignment. You could use/modify those example files itself and run

Programming Language and OS

  • The code is implemented in C++ on the tux (Linux) platform and would require the g++ compiler to compile

Instructions

  • cd into the directory of the folder containing Source.cpp and type make
  • Type in make to compile. This produces an executable of the format CG_hw3
  • Type in ./CG_hw3 [command-line parameters][-f filename.txt -u num_u -v num_v -r radius [-S or -F]] to run the code
  • Follow the run-time command by > [filename].iv to redirect the output to [filename].iv format

Cleanup

  • You can type make rm to remove executable the CG_hw3 and run again
