The Sketchy Side

Multiple Lights? Multiple diffuse directions, specs, and shadows.

Shadows and square specular highlights are now working!

First step towards shadows, still got some work to do!

Got my anti-aliasing working!

Incorporating diffuse and specular shading in a Phong variation, with a false rim light shader applied as well. Colors from the palette of Treasure Planet.

Diffuse pass only

Breakdown for basic shading

This is a 2D image plane slicing an ellipsoid. Both are in a 3D world space and serve as the first steps toward my ray tracer.

First top-down mind map of my ray-tracer. This code simply create an image plane in 3D space and checks if any objects are intersecting it. In other words, it isn’t ray-tracing yet, but by this time next week it will be!

Social Seismograph creates a real time activity graph for Twitter hashtags. The Twitter Search API is queried in Processing and sent across serial to an arduino which drives a stepper motor that moves the paper and a servo that move an arm with a marker. This project was completed in 8 hours and all components will be reusable when disassembled.

Here is a video of the game in action, enjoy!

This project simulates some of the functionality of my Window Concept Project. It collects weather data from wunderground.com and displays sky conditions using an RGB LED. The Current conditions are displayed when the hand is highest, and 12 hours in the future when the hand is closest.
