Key Activities
- Utilized the geometry shader to generate individual grass blades. Calculate and pass in the world position of the cursor to make the grass blades "breathe" with the cursor.
- Implemented basic light shading with Phong Illumination Model. Improved performance with the half-way vector optimization.
- Implemented basic physics simulation for the petals.
- Optimized performance with methods such as GPU Instancing.
