GAM670/DPS905 -- Weekly Schedule 20111

Suggested Enhancements
Assignment Discussion
Review of base code
- camera, sound, and light attachments now made at the Frame class
- textures still attach at the object level
- texture connection uncoupled from drawing
- introduction of relative reference frames
Relative Reference Frames
- Recursive calls
  Vector Frame::position()
  
  Matrix Frame::rotation()
  
  Matrix Frame::world()
- Detaching from and attaching to a parent frame
  Frame::attachTo()
Visibility Determination
- Plane
  normal + constant - examples
  
  equation of a plane: dot(n, x) + D = 0
  
  positive side of a plane dot(n, x) + D > 0
  
  test a point for presence within a set of planes
  
  normal calculations - general rotation matrix - vector and angle
- ViewingFrustum
  parameters
  - near-clipping plane
    
    far-clipping plane
    
    field of view angle
    
    aspect ratio
  6 planes
  - near and far planes
    
    left and right planes
    
    top and bottom planes
  - coding
    constructor
    
    ViewingFrustum::contains()
Finite Size of Objects
- Expansion of the Viewing Frustum
- Bounded Volume
  BoundedVolume : Frame
  
  BoundedVolume::setRadius()
  
  BoundedVolume::getRadius()
