Blender Artwork

View my Blender Artwork

Blender is a free, open-source 3D rendering tool, which I've been learning to use in my spare time.  It has helped me learn a lot about the design and development of rendered models.  In my Blender art gallery, I will show you a few of my favorite renders that I have done.

OpenGL

Download my OpenGL Demo Application.

In my Introduction to Computer Graphics class, I learned how to use the OpenGL libraries for creating 3D animations withing programs.  The goal of this part of the class was to learn OpenGL by creating a short animation application.  The link above allows you to download my application.  It requires Windows and OpenGL to run the executable.

My Own Raytracer

Also during the Introduction to Computer Graphics class, I learned the basics behind ray tracing and even wrote my own 3D renderer.  The render I wrote relies on a very simple format to describe shapes and does not support more advanced functionality such as anti-aliasing and depth-of-field effects.  However, in the gallery I have included images that demonstrate its capabilities.
