Hyrule Field

by Darren Huang

Description

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been one of my favorite games ever since I played it. In this project, I'm trying to create a scene that imitates Hyrule Field, a huge field in the center of the game world. The user can move around and explore the characters and objects within the field. There's also a day-and-night cycle (like the actual game), which affects the lighting in the scene.

Key Features

• A camera that allows the user to move around freely and explore the world
• A day-and-night cycle. The light source moves slowly above the scene (the sun during day and the moon during night). All objects are shaded accordingly with Phong shading
• More than 10 different meshes, including characters, nature, and enemies, all texture mapped
• Collision detection with all objects on the ground (except for the treasures).
• A skybox that gets brighter and darker depending on the time of the day

Controls

• The W, S, A, D keys move the camera around forward, backward, left, right, respectively
• Scrolling with the mouse changes the camera's pitch and yaw angles

Screenshots

Some hidden treasure?
