EBU5405: 3D Graphics Programming Tools - Coursework 2019
In this coursework you will develop an articulated and interactive object in the shape of a
crawling animal using C and OpenGL. The main objectives of this project are to practice and
demonstrate: hierarchical modelling, model rendering, viewing transformations, lighting,
interactivity and animation using OpenGL and the GLUT.
Examples of crawling animals: turtle, lizard, ant, spider, snake, etc.
The coursework is divided into two parts. During the first part of the coursework (Labs 4 and
5), you will develop the 3D hierarchical model of your articulated object and implement some
rendering and interactivity. In the second part of the coursework (Labs 6, 7 and 8), you will
add lighting to your object and create an animation.
The outcome of each lab should be saved in a folder with the name of the lab (i.e. Lab4, Lab5,
etc.). In each folder, you should include the source code and the compiled application. Please
add comments to your code!
The outcome of the coursework (i.e. all the saved five lab folders, from Lab 4 to 8) should be
placed in a folder named xxxxxxxEBU5405 (replace xxxxxxxx by your BUPT student number).
This folder will be submitted via QMplus after lab 8 (i.e. there is only one submission). Details
of the deadline can be found on QMplus.
Practical details:
- Programming language: C and OpenGL (no other languages allowed)

Lab 4
1. Aim
The aim of Lab 4 is to build the articulated object.
The basic requirements for the articulated object are that it should:
- be made of at least 8 articulated parts;
- present some dependencies between the parts;
- evoke the shape of a crawling animal.
Warning! Your articulated object must be the result of your own design; it should be unique. Marks
will be allocated for originality.
2. Content of Lab4
2.1. Object parts
You should implement each part in a separate function.
If you decide that some of the parts should be cylindrical objects, you can use the GLU quadrics objects
(e.g. gluCylinder) to implement them.
The GLU quadrics objects are based on Quadrics, which are a way of drawing complex objects. To use
Quadrics, you must first declare a variable:
GLUquadricObj *p; // pointer to quadric object
Initialise it:
p = gluNewQuadric(); // initialisation
And then use it to create the GLU quadrics object, for example:
gluCylinder (p, 1.0, 1.0, 3.0, 32, 32); /* cylinder of radius 1.0 at its base; radius 1.0 at its top; height of
3.0; 32 slices (subdivisions around the z axis); 32 stacks (subdivisions along the z axis) */
For a reference to the GLU quadrics objects, please see here:
http://www.glprogramming.com/blue/ch06.html#id38149
2.2. Modelling transformations
Write a function called “animal”. In this function, you will write the modelling transformation
statements (e.g. glRotatef and glTranslatef) that will allow you to build the object using its individual
parts.
2.3. Display callback and isometric view
The “animal” function above will be called in the display callback. But before you call this function,
make a call to the gluLookAt function in order to create an isometric view of the object.
2.4. Reshape callback
Write a reshape callback in which you should call the glOrtho function. Choose carefully the arguments
of the glOrtho function so that the whole object appears in the middle of the window. Make sure the
object preserves its shape and proportions even in the event that the window’s aspect ratio changes.
3. Outcome of Lab4
The outcome of this lab should be a static 3D graphics, which shows an isometric view of the object.
Save your work in a folder named Lab4, include all your code and .exe application. Do not forget to
comment your code.
Lab 5
1. Aim
The aim of Lab 5 is to interact with the object. For this, you will need to revise the outcome of lab4 to
ensure that the object is modelled as a hierarchical object.
2. Content of Lab5
2.1. Hierarchical modelling
Think carefully about the dependencies between the individual parts of the object. Refer to the slides of
the HierarchicalModelling lecture and revise the object function you developed in Lab4 accordingly.
Remember that to model the object as a hierarchical object, you must use the matrix stack.
Hint: In the individual modelling functions, it may be a good idea to ensure that the end points of any
future rotation (see details of the interaction below) stand at the origin of the coordinate system.
2.2. Menu based interaction
You will write a menu which will allow you to test the hierarchical modelling of your object. The menu
will be used to animate the object.
The menu should be attached to the right button of the mouse and show the following three options:
ZigZagMotion, Crawling and Rotation.
2.3. ZigZagMotion
When the ZigZagMotion option of the menu is chosen, the object should be animated to change its
position (not its shape) inside the window. The object should follow a zigzag trajectory inside the
window. The animation should only stop when the ZigZagMotion option is selected again in the menu.
Make sure that the object always remains visible, i.e. it should not exit the window.
Example of zigzag trajectory:
2.4. Crawling
When the Crawling option of the menu is chosen, the articulated object should be animated so the
various parts are moving around their joints. The position of the object inside the window does not
change (unless the ZigZagMotion option is still selected). The animation should only stop when the
Crawling option is selected again in the menu.
2.5. Rotation
When the Rotation option of the menu is chosen, the object should rotate on itself along the Y axis. The
animation should only stop when the Rotation option is selected again in the menu.
3. Outcome of Lab5
The outcome of this lab should be an interactive animated 3D graphics which allows us to change the
position, shape and orientation of the object.
Save your work in a folder named Lab5, include all your code and .exe application. Do not forget to
comment your code.
Lab 6
1. Aim
The aim of Lab 6 is to understand and practice lighting using OpenGL and to start adding lighting to the
articulated object.
2. Lighting exercises
You should download and open the Week3Code.doc file.
Copy and paste the two code samples in their own .c files and name each .c file as shown in the
Week3Code.doc file. Compile and run each program.
Now try answering the questions or exercises below.
a) spheres.c
i. Using the Colour Converter Flash application (which can be found on QMplus),
observe all the colours declared in the various light and material properties.
ii. Given the light and material properties you observed above, can you explain the aspect
of each of the spheres?
iii. Modify the colour declarations as you like, observe and try to explain the changes you
can see on the spheres.
iv. Modify the position of the light and try to explain what you observe as a result.
b) cube.c
i. Repeat questions i, ii and iii above for the cube.
ii. Re-calculate all the normal vectors and verify that they are correct.
iii. Modify the code so the light source is fixed relative to the cube, i.e. you want the light
to rotate with the cube. A single face (always the same) should appear illuminated.
iv. Modify the code so the cube is fixed (rotated only once by 45 degrees on each axis), but
the light source continuously rotates around the fixed cube. For a better result, you may
want to use a greater increment for the angles theta[axis].
3. Lighting the object
3.1. Light source
Set up a fixed light source similar to the one used in the cube.c program. Insure that your code is
complete (e.g. declaration of normals (if needed), lighting and light source enabled, etc.).
3.2. Materials
Declare different types of material for the different parts of the object. The object should display
various colours, some parts should be shiny, and others shouldn’t.
4. Animation of the object
You should remove the interactive menus you implemented in Lab5 and add the following interaction: a
click anywhere inside the window with the left button of the mouse should start and stop the animation
of the object. How the object behaves is up to you. You should try to implement a behaviour that
evokes the typical behaviour of the animal you have chosen. During the animation, the object’s position
should change while remaining inside the window at all time.
5. Outcome of Lab 6
The outcome of this lab should be an animated object that is shaded using OpenGL lighting
calculations.
Save your work in a folder named Lab6, include all your code and .exe application. You must comment
your code.
Lab 7
1. Aim
The aim of Lab 7 is to experiment with various types of materials.
2. Content of Lab 7
2.1. Materials
Test different types of materials for the different parts of your object. Retain three sets of materials that
you like and that make your object look like your chosen animal. You are not using texture (as we
haven’t learnt how to use texture) so we are not looking for perfect realism but try to use your
imagination and trial and errors to achieve the most realistic effects that you can. Find an appropriate
name for each of the three material sets. Remember that this is an individual coursework and that your
object must be unique. Marks will be given for originality and realism.
2.2. Interaction
Implement a menu attached to the right button of the mouse that can be used to select the type of
material used to render the object. Use the names you chose in the question above to display the options
in your menu.
3. Outcome of Lab 7
The outcome of this lab should be an animated 3D articulated object, which can be shaded using
different materials. The light source is the one you set up in Lab6. The object animation is controlled
using the left mouse button (unchanged since Lab6).
Save your work in a folder named Lab7, include all your code and .exe application. You must comment
your code.
Lab 8
1. Aim
The aim of Lab 8 is to experiment with the light source.
2. Content of Lab 8
2.1. Light source
Transform the light source you set up in Lab6 into a fixed spotlight. When choosing the position and
angle of illumination of the spotlight, make sure that during the animation, your animal receives more
or less light depending on its location. At times, your animal should receive no light at all. You want to
simulate a situation where your animal is hiding in a dark corner …
2.2. Object animation
The object is animated exactly as in Lab 7.
3. Outcome of Lab 8
The final outcome of the coursework (i.e. outcome of lab 8) should be an interactive animated 3D
articulated object, which can be shaded using three different sets of materials. The material set can be
chosen using a popup menu attached to the right button of the mouse. The light source simulates an
environment which is only partially illuminated. The object animation is controlled (start/stop) with a
mouse click using the left button of the mouse.
Save your finished object in a folder named Lab8, include all your code and .exe application. You must
comment your code.
Place the five folders: Lab4, Lab5, Lab6, Lab7 and Lab8 in a folder named xxxxxxxEBU5405
(replace xxxxxxx by your BUPT student number), and submit it as a zip archive on QMplus before
the submission deadline.
