School Projects
3D Gravity Run
A 3-D endless running game set in space as our team’s entry for mobile game design contest held by NTUST.
The game features a control scheme using device orientation. The project was recognized as an excellent work.
PS Vita Game Prototype
A game concept prototype combining Rubik’s cube and tower defense for PS Vita.
In each level, enemies spawn at a random location and follow a path to another point on the cube.
If enough enemies reached the destination, the player loses. As the level progresses, the enemy’s path changes,
forcing players to rearrange the cube to better position the towers.
Unfortunately, due to time restriction, we only finished bare-bones gameplay elements.
Ogre3D Demo
Another final project for 3D game class in NTUST.
We were tasked with setting up a chain of events of objects interacting with each other and simulate it with a physics engine.
We used Ogre3D for rendering the scene and Bullet Physics Library for simulating physics.
We also implemented water reflection and water waves with custom shaders.
Skeleton Extraction
An implementation of Oscar et al.’s “Skeleton Extraction by Mesh Contraction.”
Skeleton Extraction
Mesh Simplification
An implementation of Garland el al.’s “Surface Simplification Using Quadric Error Metrics.”
Mesh Simplification
Mesh Parameterization
Implementation of a simple mesh parameterization for automatic texture mapping.
The user can select and parameterize a patch on a mesh then applies texture to the selected patch.
Mesh Parameterization
OpenGL Practice - Face Selector
In this practice, I rendered a 3D model in OpenGL and implemented a feature to let users select parts of the model.
