CSE 414 (2018)

Resources and Links:

Course outline of CSE 414

Development Environment: Codeblocks with GCC (Download and use the latest version with MinGW)

OpenGL Windowing, GUI, and Media Control toolkits (Win32 Binaries): GLFW3, GLUT

OpenGL Loading Libraries (Win32 Binaries): GLAD, GLEW

Schedule:

• Week 1 (15 July to 19 July) - Introduction to OpenGL (pdf)

Tutorial: Setup OpenGL(glut) in Code::blocks , Example Codes with Glut

• Week 2 (22 July to 26 July) - Introduction to GLSL (pdf)

Project 1 Proposal: Submit here to this google form (Closed)

Submission deadlines: Sec A- 26 July (Thu) 11:59 PM, Sec B- 27 July (Fri) 11:59 PM

Project 1 Proposal: Accepted list (Sec A and Sec B)

• Week 3 (29 July to 02 August) - Example Code with GLFW3. (I have created this code as a Codeblocks project with GLFW3 and GLAD integrated in it. So, no need to download or install GLFW3 to run it.)

Project 1 Requirements and details. (Read carefully before start working on it! )

Submission deadlines: (Submit only one zip file to the link below using google form. Links will be closed after deadline)

Sec A- 19 August (Sun) 11:59 PM, submission link (for Sec A only)

Sec B- 20 August (Mon) 11:59 PM, submission link (for Sec B only)

Note on project 1: But you must prepare your completed project in a zip file similar to the "Project 1 starter code" and submit using the submission link (to be provided) in the course webpage (I shall not accept any email submission). The objective of this project is to make you understand the basic concepts of GLSL aka new OpenGL (No old OpenGL with glBegin() ... glEnd() will be accepted) and prepare a very simple but well-planned, well-designed scene with some (about 5-6) simple 3D objects (with some optional accompanying 2D objects). I am not having some unrealistic expectation of seeing some picture-perfect photo-realistic projects. I do believe that you can simplify any of your submitted proposals to a level to complete this objective well.

Starter Code for Project 1. (I have created this code as a Codeblocks project with GLFW3 and GLAD integrated in it. So, no need to download or install GLFW3 to run it.)

Starter Code (with two 3D objects). (VC2013 version)
