Project Plan
T
he GAEA Project is an OpenGL project that will create a 3D "cabin world"
that will be navagible and through user input. Currently "cabin world" is planned to consist of mountainous geography with the appropriate plant life, a two-bedroom cabin, and a lake.
The user experience will begin with the user "waking up" in a bedroom in the cabin. He/she may then explore "cabin world" as he/she pleases.
W
e are currently in the planning phase of the project. One of our first concerns
has been what method to use in creating a log cabin. The following are illustrations
of your plans to implement the logs to construct said cabin. 
The
image to the left is a representation of a straight-on view of one of our
logs. The logs will consist of a cylinder unioned with a box. This will
allow the inside of the cabin to have smooth walls and the outside to have
a rounded look.
By
stacking our logs we will acheive one of our cabin walls.
This
is a sample of what an interior wall should look like straight-on.A
lso, we needed to come up with a good way to display water in OpenGL. The following are smaple images. You can also [download] water code.
