6.837 Assignment 1: Curves and Surfaces

Ethan Sherbondy 6.837, Fall 2012 Last Edit Date: 9/22/2012

To run on Athena:

Type make Then do:

./a1 swp/dragonfly.swp

Or try any of the other swp files included. The ones that I made are called:

• swp/dragonfly.swp
• swp/tube-table.swp

The corresponding screenshots are located in img

The project also works with Xcode on Mac OS. Just open a1.xcodeproj and run.

I didn't collaborate with anyone in the class. Please note that I've posted my code publicly on GitHub. I haven't explicitly shared this code with classmates, but someone may find it, in which case I hope they don't mindlessly copy my implementation.

I referred to the following works while thinking about the assignment:

• http://www.antigrain.com/research/adaptive_bezier/index.html
• The course notes

I haven't tried any of the extra credit problems yet.

Really enjoyed this assignment. One of the funnest PSETs I've done in my 2 years at MIT. Definitely helped solidify my understanding of curves and transformations in 3D. Not overwhelming.
