Computer Graphics Project - Erasmus Exchange, Pisa

This project was developed as part of the Computer Graphics course at the University of Pisa under Professor Fabio Ganovelli. It demonstrates the step-by-step creation of a 3D car model, animated movement through a map, and realistic lighting and shadow effects, using the EnvyMyCar (NVMC) framework with WebGL.

Features

• 3D Car Modeling and Animation: Built and animated a 3D car model with smooth movements and rotations, integrated with a race-track environment.
• Dynamic Lighting: Implemented a sun and other light sources for real-time lighting changes, casting shadows across the map and car.
• Multiple Camera Views:
  • Chase View: A rear-follow camera that moves behind the car.
  • Flying View: A high aerial perspective controlled by the user giving a complete view of the car and map.
  • Follow-from-Up View: A top-down view that follows the car from above, suitable for navigating the map.

Technologies Used

• WebGL: For rendering 3D graphics in the browser.
• JavaScript & HTML: Core scripting for animations, interactions, and UI.
• NVMC Framework: Provided by the course for a structured approach to interactive graphics applications.
