CM 20219 Coursework Part 2 201 7

View ing and analysing 3D M odels using Web GL

Dr.. Christian Richardt

1.. Introduction

In this coursework , you will impl ement software to render and manipulate a 3D model using WebGL.. This assignment is worth 20 % of the total marks for the unit .

2.. Deliverables and assessment

You will write softw are using JavaScript and WebGL . You will be given a skeleton Web GL application based on

Three..jjs

( a widely used JavaScript graphics API)) to start with,, and should attempt to implement each feature described in the requirements table given later in this document..

This part of the coursework has two deliverables..

The first is a demonstration given in the lab.. You must turn up and talk us through each of the features you have implemented.. You will be marked against several categories,, most of which will be based on results alone.. Your code will also be checked to ensure you are obeying good practices.. You should structure the presentation well and be efficient with time the marker will have many students to see!!

For the second deliverable,, you will submit a report documenting the entire coursework (nnot the M ATLAB part)) . It is important that you thoroughly describe the mathematics that you have used,, and how you implemented this using JavaScript and Three..jjs (iincluding how you overcame any difficulties)).. Code will also be checked and must be submitted..

The report should demonstrate your understanding of the concepts and show how you impleme nted key elements (wwith short,, relevant sections of source code included in the flow of the text)).. Your report should include some evidence of testing,, including screenshots and numerical results where appropriate.. It is important to highlight the capabili ties and limitations of your software,, and clearly describe how you could improve it if you had additional ti me.. The page limit is 8 pages..

Source code should be easily readable by a programmer.. This means appropriate use of variable names and comments..

Pl ease organise your report by r equirement number using the table given later in this document .

You must submit your source code and an electronic copy of the report (PPDF)) via Moodle..

Please note the deadlines for the deliverables for this part of the coursework::

1.. Live Demo (550%%)):: week of 1 1 1 5 December 201 7 during your regular lab slot

2.. Report (550%%)):: Fri day 1 5 Dec ember 2017 , 20 :000 via Moodle (rreport + code))

3 . Getting s tarted

You will write this part of the coursework in JavaScript , using Three..jjs whic h wraps WebGL . All computers in the university should be able to run WebGL in Edge,, Chrome or Firefox . WebGL should also work on your own computer and even phone or tablet . T he tutors will be able to assist you with getting started , as well as answering qu e stions about JavaScript,, Three..jjs and graphics concepts..

You can download a skeleton framework from Moodle,, which is set up to show you a minimal example to get started straight away . You can use any text editor you like for editing files,, although it might be convenient to use Visual Studio as it provides syntax highlighting and other helpful development tools.. After saving your files,, refresh the browser tab to update it..

To get started,, look through the code in WebGL Coursework.. html and make sure you understand how Three..jjs is initialised , and how the animate and handleResize c allback functions are registered and implemented.. Then you should look at how the scene is being dr awn,, to start working on your requirements.. The following short presentation is also a good introduction to Three..jjs (bby Eric Haines))::

http::////wwww..rrealtimerendering..ccom//bbasics3js//##11

.

You can find the full Three..jjs documentation at::

https::////tthreejs..oorg//ddocs//iindex..hhtml##mmanual//iintroduction//CCreating a scene

As soon as you want to load images for textures or meshes from the local drive,, you will see that the security settings of internet browsers will block it . Three..jjs has a page on how to run things locally::

https :////tthreejs..oorg//ddocs//##mmanual//iintroduction//HHow to run thing locally

. Perhaps the simplest workaround is to start a local webserver and access your coursework via it::

1.. Open a command line (oor terminal on Linux or macOS)) in the directory where you have your cou rsework.. (OOn Windows,, you can press shift + right click,, and then select OOpen command window here))..

2.. Start a simple webserver with Python.. On a university computer,, you can type:: C:: Python27 python..eexe m SimpleHTTPServer This will tell you at which port the server will be listening (ee..gg.. 32007))..

3.. In your web browser,, navigate to http::////llocalhost::PPORT ,, where PPORT is the number reported in Step 2..

4 . Learning o utcomes

After completing this coursework,, and attending the relevant lectures,, you should be able to::

Construct appropriate mathematical operations to manipulate 3D objects

Use an industry standard graphics programming API ( Web GL))

Develop code to interact with JavaScript events (mmouse clicks,, key presses etc..))

Test and document a graphics inter action system

5 . Plagiarism

You must complete this coursework individually.. If you copy code from another student and include it in your project without clear attribution,, then you have committed plagiarism.. Plagiarism is a serious academic offence.. For de tails on plagiarism and how to avoid it,, please visit

http::////wwww..bbath..aac..uuk//llibrary//hhelp//iinfoguides//pplagiarism..hhtml

. Undetected plagiarism degrades the quality of your degree,, as it interferes with our ability to assess you and prevents you learning through properly attempting the coursework.. Consequently,, if we detect any

plagiarism you will receive zero marks for the coursework and be referred to the Director of Studies for disc iplinary action.. Such action may affect your ability to continue your studies at the University.. Note that properly attributed code,, while allowed in your submission,, will not contribute towards your marks.. The report marks will also only be applicable to sections you have coded yourself..

6 . Coursework r equirements s pecification

T his coursework will be marked based on your de mo (550%%)) and your report (550%%))..

The following table details the required features to implement,, as well as the marks available for each requirement (ffor the demo)).. Please see the detailed marking scheme in the following section for a breakdown of marks by requirement..
