Computer Graphic Project

This is my first animation. The animation is created using Visual C++ 6 and OpenGL library. The character from the animation is supposely Kyle from the cartoon series South Park, which I personally love watching. Kyle in my animation is created by several types of objects like spheres and cones. For instance the body of Kyle is created using an orange cone; also the head is created by a large sphere.

When the drawing of Kyle is created, parameters are set to allow movements of the eyes, arms, and head. This is possible by restricting the direction in which an object could move. So, the programmer can simply alter the parameters to make motions like head turning. As you may know, animation or video is a combination of series of frames (images) to be display with respect to time. Therefore, I created approximatly 100 images in the format of .ppm, which is a raw image. Then I link the images to created the MPEG file that you are watching right now.

Enjoy
