Tornado Simulation

by Kevin Pham

Description

A simulation of a tornado (written in C++ / GLUT / OpenGL) using a particle system that uses parametric equations. The whole world is lit and shaded using Phong Shading and the ground itself is texture mapped as well as the sky using a SkyBox.

Features

• Use of Pitch and Yaw to use mouse to look around world
• Use wasd keys to move camera around world
• Use ijkl keys to move the tornado itself around the world
• Models are in code but slow down tornado's performance too much
