Computer Graphics Demos

This page contains some demos of computer graphics done by me in the last years.

Terrain Engine

I'm currently doing some experiments with terrain engines using a parametric approach.

4 Cameras (Cockpit and Ortho XY,XZ,YZ)
Terrain Parameters with short-cut to keycontrol:
Octaves, Frequency, Amplitude and H

Subdivision Surfaces

The presented subdivision surface algorithm has been invented by myself. It is based on blending several homogeneous coordinates using addition arithmetics. It is non-recursive, memory intensive, fast and has support for fast level-of-detail switching between quads. Is has been implemented in C++, Forth and R.

Demos


Implementation in R
Available in the R Package rgl. To see it in R, type:
> library(rgl)
> demo(subdivision)

Demonstration
Demo showing the level of detail capabilities of the algorithm.

No Subdiv


Level 1


Level 2

Tobias Schwinger's turtle graphics modeling tool that features this algorithm.
Please have a look at it here.

L-System

An experiment with L-System and oscillating the branch angle.
