Introduction
In this project, you will first add shading and shadows, and then you will implement a new features from a list of choices.
Shading and Shadows
Implement shading and shadows. You may reuse you solutions from previous tutorials, just beware of copy-paste errors. Also, add GUI elements and run-time shader recompilation, to ease project development.
Choose one project
Read through the description of all projects (they are fairly short), and then choose one. If you have own suggestions of features to implement instead, a lab assistant may approve them if the scope is suitable (not trivial and not too much work). If you want to implement a larger project that does not fit into the scope of this course, we recommend you to consider the Advanced computer graphics seminar course.
