CS 274 - Three-Dimensional Game Development IV DirectX

1. Write code which will implement multiple texturing.
2. Write code which will use environment mapping to implement chrome mapping and cartoon shading.
3. Use hierarchical transformations to position objects relative to one another.
4. Use vertex animation to display animated characters.
5. Describe how hardware considerations affect graphics efficiency, and how various optimization processes can be used to overcome efficiency bottlenecks.
6. Describe the limits on texture resolution and be able to determine cases in which the limits become important.
7. Describe skinning and its relationship to other animation techniques.
8. Describe the uses of spatial partitioning and write code to implement spatial partition algorithms such as, quadtrees, octtrees, KD-trees, and BSP Trees.
9. Describe the difference between broad and narrow phase collision detection and write a program that implements both.
10. Describe situations in which different collision detection strategies, such as ray intersection testing, ellipsoid, unit spheres, swept sphere and triangle are applicable, and be able to write algorithms to implement each technique.
11. Describe common methods of determining potential visibility sets.
12. Clearly communicate problem and solution descriptions to the instructor and peers, and work with peers to jointly solve programming problems.
