Advanced transformsThe WebGL application contained in file index.html, wants to perform 4 advanced
transformations using the code written in file move.js.
If you look at the code in move.js, you will see that all transforms are initialized to the identity matrix (which performs no transform). Your goal is to modify such matrices to obtain the desired effect.
If you open index.html in Google Chrome or in some other WebGL supported browser, you will see at top of the page the requested transform, and a wireframe view of the wanted result. If you press space, it will add a filled view of the object obtained using the transform you supplied in the file move.js. If the wireframe and solid object matches, you have done it right! You can press space and move to the next transform.
In this exercise, you can use if you wish (but you are not required to, if you prefer to perform computation externally), third-party libraries to build basic rotation, scale, translation and shear matrix, as well to perform matrix multiplication. For example, you can use the already included library utils.js, that exposes the following functions:
utils.degToRad(a) converts angle a from degree to radians
utils.identityMatrix()
returns an identity matrix, that performs no transformation
utils.degToRad(a) converts angle a from degree to radians
utils.invertMatrix(M) inverts matrix M
utils.transposeMatrix(M) transpoes matrix M
utils.multiplyMatrices(M1, M2) returnstheproductof matricesM1andM2
utils.MakeTranslateMatrix(dx, dy, dz) returnsatranslation matrixwithdisplacementdx,dy anddz
utils.MakeRotateXMatrix(a)utils.MakeRotateYMatrix(a)utils.MakeRotateZMatrix(a)
returns a rotation matrix of an angle a across the corresponding axis. The angle is specified in degrees.
utils.MakeScaleMatrix(s) returns a uniform scaling matrix of factor s.
utils.MakeScaleNuMatrix(sx, sy, sz) returns a non-uniform scaling matrix of factors sx, sy and sz.
utils.MakeShearXMatrix(hy, hz)utils.MakeShearYMatrix(hx, hz)utils.MakeShearZMatrix(hx, hy)
returns a shear matrix with displacement hx, hy or hz across the corresponding axis.
