CPT205 Computer Graphics

CPT20T – Computer Graphics (2023-24)

Assessment 2 – 3D Modelling Project

1. Learning Outcomes for this Assessment

This assessment aims at assessing your understanding of the topics and knowledge of the theory and methods by applying and implementing a range of the techniques / algorithms covered in the lecture and lab sessions. You will demonstrate substantial work through appropriate design and implementation of a three- dimensional (3D) scene with a number of objects.

2. The Task

You will create a well-thought 3D scene, which is suitable to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in computer graphics. A key objective of the assignment is to make effective use of the graphics techniques and OpenGL functions covered in the module. In particular, you should consider the following in completing this assignment:

.     A well-thought design of 3D scene with a number of static and moving objects (the scene, which is  not necessarily very complex, but could still represent daily life, e.g., the train track used in the lab);

.     A range of graphics techniques utilised in an appropriate manner, e.g., creation of geometry,  hierarchical modelling, transformations, viewing and projection, lighting and materials, texture mapping, animation and interactions;

.     Effective use of relevant OpenGL libraries in freeglut (no other OpenGL libraries to be used);

.     Good programming practice (e.g., necessary comments and neat format of the code) – appropriately acknowledge sources used in your assignment work.

3. The Written Report

You are required to produce a report of up to 5 A4 sides that

a)   shows basic information – module code and title, and your name, ID and degree programme;

b)   describes the design and features of your work (relating to graphics techniques used but not explaining your code in detail);

c)   provides a brief readme / instruction section about how your program can be run effectively (e.g., interactive commands with the mouse and keyboard);

d)   contains a set of typical screenshots to show your program in action.

4. Submission of Work

a)   Compress your written report in pdf, source code (.cpp), executable file (.exe) and texture

image files (not the whole MS VS solution/project which can have a very large file size) into a

single zip/rar file. Reduce the resolution of your image files where necessary.  Name your zip/rar

file in the following way:  YourID_Surnamae_GivenName (e.g. 2154321_Yue_Yong).

b)   Submit your zip/rar file in the LMC module site, by Sunday, 17 December 2023.

Late submission will receive penalty in the marking in accordance with the University Code of Practice on Assessment.  For each working day after the deadline, 5 marks (out of 100) will be deducted for up to 5 working days.  However, the mark will not be reduced below the pass mark for the assessment. Work assessed below the pass mark will not be penalised for late submission of up to five days.  Work received more than 5 working days after the deadline will receive a mark of 0.

5. Backup and Plagiarism and Collusion

Backup your work.  As good practice, you should always make sure that your work is securely backed up.

This assignment is individual work.  Plagiarism (e.g., misrepresenting another’s work or concept without proper acknowledgement and citation of the sources) and collusion (unauthorised collaboration or co-operation with others in preparation and production of assessment work) are serious academic offences. Academic offences will be dealt with in accordance with the University Code of Practice on Assessment.

6. Guide to Marking

Students may be required to attend an interview to explain their work if deemed necessary for effective assessment of their submission.

In the following table, each category builds on the requirements contained in the preceding category for assessment.
