Inverse and Forward Kinematics in OpenGL

Computer Science | June 5, 2023

This project explores forward, inverse, and scripted kinematics for hierarchical creature modeling in OpenGL. It features two different boned creatures: a worm-like creature featuring five interconnected bones, and a cube jellyfish with four three-boned arms. Both models have been crafted in Blender and loaded with the Assimp library. The control points and joints are calculated […]

LTC-based sheen models

Computer Science, Featured | May 2, 2023

This project presents two OpenGL implementations of sheen models for simulating cloth-like surfaces inspired by Zeltner et al.’s work. It utilizes linearly transformed cosines (LTC) for accurate rendering, with the first implementation employing a precomputed lookup table and the second using a continuous function for cosine values.
