ICA Requirements:

• Create geometry meshes from the Sponza scene data (which contains indexed triangle lists);
• Draw instances of meshes from the Sponza scene using camera data it contains;
• Implement the full transformation pipeline (model, view and projection transforms);
• Shade the scene using the Phong reflection model with the point light data (including distance attenuation) and per-instance material data from the Sponza scene data (including diffuse and specular coefficients from texture maps);
• Implement a key press feature toggle that additionally draws the surface normal vector at each vertex with emissive shading based upon their world space value (but not affected by the virtual lighting).

You are required to write a C++ application to draw a terrain populated with given objects as detailed below. The application must be written using the given framework available via Blackboard. You must use OpenGL 3.3 and GLSL shaders. You should:

• Use the provided cubic Bezier patches as the basic shape for the terrain geometry;
• Apply the provided texture map as a displacement map to the basic terrain above;
• Apply a noise-like effect to the geometry to make the terrain appear more natural;
• Make the terrain geometry high-resolution using interpolation / extrapolation as necessary;
• Generate smoothed vertex normal vectors for the terrain to improve the given shading;
• Draw the static objects given in the framework initial data at the given locations;
• Make use of appropriate data structures and algorithms (e.g. regular tiling and/or quadtrees) for visibility determination to limit unnecessary drawing;
• Add performance measurements and output metrics to report upon the success of the above algorithms and data structures.
