03: simple hand-built model

goal

model an object consisting of six to twenty polygons.
(...not an environment, not several objects, not an object on a table, no animation. Think milk carton, walkman...)

requirements

use an IndexedFaceSet and completely texture it, using only one 512 x 512 or smaller image file containing multiple subtextures. Handcraft your vertices and texture coordinates. Do not use a modeller at all. Use a text editor and some paper. You must specify texture coordinates—do not use the default texture mapping. Do not use a different IndexedFaceSet node for each separate polygon.

criteria

your grade will be calculated using the following form:

`success`		achieves goal; meets requirements
`framerate`		measured on class machine, camera moving
`complexity`		quantity / amount of detail in models, textures, sounds, scripts, etc.
		-vs-
`filesize`		size of all assets, wrls zipped
`effort`		attention to detail and understanding
`novelty`		cleverness, fresh approach
`awe`		incredibleness
score

submission

create a web page called task03.html that embeds your vrml file and displays the texture you used. Copy task03.html and all associated files to a folder named task03 in your class directory in your home area. Pay attention to capitalization in file and directory names. Test the link from the student work web page and make sure there are no problems. Make sure your vrml file will work correctly on the machine we will be using in class.

due date: tuesday, january 25, before class.
