For the final project, I created a virtual world with articulated creatures interacting with the environment. Here are the highlights of my self-sufficient world.
Overview of the Virtual World
The virtual world is built inside of a skybox.
There are pitch and yaw rotation, strafe left and right, and forward and backward movement added to the view camera controlling by mouse movement.

Hierarchical Modeling
The cows in my world are built using hierarchical modeling with both meshes and primitives. The head of the cow is a mesh for a deer. The body is stretched sphere. Each leg is formed by two cylinders as the upper and lower part of a leg.

Texture Mapped Objects
Trees are mapped with texture in order to add more details for the surface.
|
Interactions
The cow will poop every 5 seconds from its current butt position. The poop will then fall following a projectile path to the ground at 45 degrees angle.
As it hits the ground, grass grows out of the location where the poop lands.

Pathing
Cows are walking around in a square path and make turns at the corner of the square.
Butterflies are flying around the trees in a circle path and flutuate up and down so that it looks more realistic.

Lights
I have a directional light in the world using Phong shading.
