·      Project Objective:

o    This Project’s goal is to create a Toon Shader for non-photo realistic rendering using prman shading language and OpenGL.  This area of the pipeline that the project will focus on the processing of the scene.

·      Project Objectives

o    Learn prman

o    Write shader for NPR
 

·      System and Software

o    Hardware: PC running Windows Vista with a NVIDIA 8800

o    Software: prman, OpenGL, GLUT

·      A breakdown of project components, e.g.:

o    The end result will be a simple scene in OpenGl rendered in the Toon Shader.

·      Project Responsibilities:

o    Learn prman

o    Write Toon Shader

o    Build 3D scene         
         

·      Project Timeline:

o    Week 5: Learn prman

o    Week 6: Write algorithm for NPR

o    Week 6-8: Code Algorithm complete

o    Week 9-10: Wrap up Project

·      Final Presentation:

o      Show scene without NPR

o      Show Slides showing various step taken to implement shader and algorithm.

o      Show Scene with NPR
