Assignment 1
1. Practicing with Cameras (15 Points)
1.1. 360-degree Renders (5 points)
1.2 Re-creating the Dolly Zoom (10 points)
2. Practicing with Meshes (10 Points)
2.1 Constructing a Tetrahedron (5 points)
2.2 Constructing a Cube (5 points)
3. Re-texturing a mesh (10 points)
color1=[0, 0, 1], color2=[1, 0, 0]
4. Camera Transformations (10 points)
R_relative, rotate -90 degrees about the z-axis, T_relative, do nothing.
R_relative, do nothing, T_relative, move 3 units forward along the negative z-axis (the object's front direction).
R_relative, do nothing, T_relative, move 0.5 units forward along the positive x-axis and 0.5 units forward along the negative y-axis.
R_relative, rotate 90 degrees about the y-axis, T_relative, move 3 units forward along the negative x-axis and 3 units forward along the positive y-axis.
5. Rendering Generic 3D Representations (45 Points)
5.1 Rendering Point Clouds from RGB-D Images (10 points)
5.2 Parametric Functions (10 + 5 points)
5.3 Implicit Surfaces (15 + 5 points)
Mesh has faster speed but lower quality than point cloud, because it introduces more approximation and less sample points. Point cloud is easier to use since its a natrul format in data collection. Rendering as a point cloud can capture fine details without requiring explicit surface reconstruction, but generally requires more memory
6. Do Something Fun (10 points)
A CMU color heart shape.
