CSS 450: Final Project

Putting Everything Together in a Meaningful App

 

Due time: Please refer to our course web-site

 

Objective

As the last project of our learning, we will combine everything we have learned and build a (hopefully) useful application. Here are the requirements:

 

Final Project Technical Specifications:

Your application must include the following technical features:

1.      A purpose: you must be able to describe the purpose of your application in 5 sentences. Your description and the actual app you build should correspond.

a.      Friendly layout and UI

 

2.      Work with graphical objects:

a.      SceenNode hierarchy, of at least two generations

b.      At least three SceneNodes

 

3.      Ability to edit graphical objects: select and modify

a.      Selection: must be LMB clicking (E.g., area around the center of object is acceptable)

b.      Modify: can simply be removal, and/or changing of transform

 

4.      Two Different Views

a.      At least two viewports

 

5.      Direct manipulation in the world

a.      Support at least one form of direction manipulation of something in your world, e.g., direct manipulation of the WC Window would be acceptable

b.      Direction manipulation of the location of the viewport is not ok.

6.      Three person team:

a.      Textures and texture transformed

                                                  i.     At least one of the Renderables in the world must be textured mapped

                                                 ii.     The texture must be transformed (not the original image)

 

 

Hints:

 

·        Do:

o   Start simple and iterate!

o   Refine + Abstract

o   Use MP5 as platform for working on this.

·        Important:

o   Copyright consideration (respect for intellectual property): do not use anything that is copyrighted (e.g., Bart Simpson’s images)

Source code and all assets

**: separate folder with TableEntry.html and all necessary files, where the TableEntry.html includes a table entry that includes information similar to this table, with links to and shows:

1. Short description of your application (the 5 sentences)
2. At least three screen shots from your app
3. Link to Proposal visual aid
3. Link to your app (index.html)

I want to display your in our course web-page.

 

 

Three person team: without meaningful texture maps and transformed textures will receive a 50% deduction.

 

The final project counts 20% towards your final grade for this class.

 

1.   Here is an example of what the final submission folder may look like:

a.      AppSrc: is the source code to your entire app

b.      screenshot: contains screen shots for your app.

2.   TableEntry.html: can look like (some referenced links are missing from the above folder structure), please do include all appropriate files in your final submission. 20% of your final grade depends on this!
