Foundations of 3D Computer Graphics Materials and Bump Mapping

Spec
Code

In this project you will upgrade the scene graph infrastructure to allow for multiple types of materials with different GLSL shaders in a single scene.

One particular material that you will help implement is a bump mapped material.

This project builds off of a completed version of the Hierarchical Transformations assignment. You can also use a completed version of the Keyframe Animation assignment.

Included with this code:

1. Lots of infrastructure that easily allow you to use multiple shaders and materials in the scene graph (see below)
2. Shaders are given to help you start implement bump mapping.

Main differences from the book's code:

1. A class called Uniforms is used to hold onto the common uniform variable values you wish to pass to the shaders (such as a modelview matrix). This allows you to set these values once, and have the data automatically passed to any shaders used as you draw the scene.
2. A class called RenderStates is used to hold onto the desired values to various OpenGL state variables. By calling the apply() member of a RenderState object, you can easily set the entire desired OpenGL state at once.
3. A class called Material is used to point to the shader, the OpenGL state, and the additional uniform variables needed to render one type of material.
4. A shape node in the scene graph now maintains a pointer to both the associated geoemtry and material objects.
