Week: 6 ( 5/2 - 9/2 )

• About light, materials and colors ( from ch. 4 and 5 )
• About scene graphs ( from ch. 3 )

• The directory /users/pmn/public/cgf07/week6 contains a ( kind of ) fish built from three pyramids - an example of a very simple hierarchy.
  
• The directory /users/pmn/public/cgf07/week6_cpp is a rewrite of the "fish" in a object oriented style ( using C++ ) which is more suitable for large scenes.

• Create an object which is movable at one or more joints.
• Improve the "grabber" by using some of the facilities of GLUT. Look in "the red book" App. D.
• Create a scene with a number of objects, and make it possible to move ( by means of the "grabber" ) a single object independent of the other.
