As a final project for my Intro to Computer Graphics class, I collaborated with 3 other members to recreate the house from the movie “Up” in C++. This project involves a variety of technical graphics features such as Blender, bump mapping, realtime OpenGL pipeline, Bezier curves, .obj parser, Skybox, and physics simulations. I created a 3D model of the house in Blender, which I then parsed the vertex data using a .obj parser that I wrote. This data was then fed to the OpenGL pipeline in order to render. There are Phong calculations done to have realistic lighting simulations. The user can move around using the W, A, S, D, Space, and Cmd keys as well as rotate the viewport by using the mouse. The user can also adjust the distance and angle of the camera from the house and the speed at which the camera moves along the Bezier curve. Additionally, the user has the option to toggle the bump mapping for textures.
