More Lab 5

Here are a few more ideas:

1.  Particle Generator(rain,  snow, leaves, etc... not elephants) with Crepuscular Rays(God rays) starting at 1:50. Pick either or both.





2.  Shallow Water... In the video, you can see the bottom of the ocean floor since its very shallow. The light from the sun is reflecting off some of the rocks underwater.





3.  Fractal tree generator-- Come up with a recursive algorithm that lets you generate leaves of a tree. For a real picture to match, any tree would do.




4.  Correct shadow for a rolling object. Skip to 2:05 for the animation. For the lab, perhaps no water and only show correct animation with the shadow tracking for multiple objects. Maybe the light can change direction.




 
5.  "Grass Effect"  Basically a terrain with grass or wheat that moves because of wind. Many clips from movie 300 or The Gladiator shows this.





6.  Time lapse sky. Pretty cool
