In which I learn I am anal with details and a crappy storyteller

I am liek teh finished with project 2~~

Project 2 for the Intro to Computer Graphics class was just to create an animated scene with OpenGL. Anything goes, as long as it meets sufficient complexity standards and then the rest is just subjective judgement calls on creativity. So here's my scene. It's a froggy. (30-sec mpg file, 2.8 megs)

(Geez, the encoding program is unforgiving with compression.)

The frog jump animation is not perfect - if I were animating it by hand, it would look more solid. But it's more complicated when I have to describe the whole frog body through math equations, and it's not that noticable at normal speed (< 1 sec per jump) anyways. =P

Don't think you could possibly do worse at math than me. =P And the math equations were mostly for describing the movements - there were functions for drawing the shapes. A lot of sin and cos and x^2 functions were what made the exe run slow...
