Description: A simulation of a hiker at the Poly Canyon Village hike.

Controls

• WASD: to move camera
• scroll: to look around
• M: change dummy material
• U: dummy turns left
• O: dummy turns right
• L: turns daytime to nighttime, changes lighting and skybox

Features

• Particle Systems: I used particle systems to simulate poo poo coming out of the cow's behind. I enjoyed applying math and physics formulas to simulate it falling down because of gravity. I also used a black and white bmp photo of the poo poo emoji to change the shape of each particle.

• Hierarchical Modeling: I watched many videos of people walking to better understand the movement of the dummy.

• Camera Control: User can freely move and look around the scene with WASD keys and scrolling.
• Textures and Materials: For the snowdrop and daffodil flowers and the cow, I found obj meshes and images to go with them. This adds a level of realism to the scene.

• Skybox: Implemented a day time and night time skybox.

• Blinn Phong Lighting: Used a directional light source to emulate the day time and night time. Light intensity decreased in the night time.
