CP SC 881 - 05: Physically Based Animation
Fall 2010
Final Project
Each student is
responsible for completing a course final project of
their
own design. You are to submit a proposal for your project, have it
approved,
and then complete it according to the schedule below. Projects can be
individual
or can be a small group project. Ideally, the project should
incorporate
concepts covered in the course, preferably pushing the ideas further in
order to produce an interesting visual effect. Examples from the past
have
included: a water wheel with particle water, a flag blowing in the
wind,
fireworks, penguin wars (advanced behavioral flocking), fluid
simulation,
etc. It would be great if attention were paid to either visual or
interaction
quality. For example, you might consider rendering frames to produce an
animation, or you might consider a physically based interactive game.
To
enhance visual quality, students in the past have output motion to
Maya,
and then used Maya to produce high quality visuals.
