Your assignment in this project is to write a program in which the the user can explore a virtual world. You are welcome to implement any world you like.

You may work with a partner on this project.

The technical requirements are:

• The user should be able to navigate (so, the camera has to move relative to the world!). User motions must include translating forwards and backwards and rotating left and right. Flying (translating up and down), tilting, and spinning upside down are other possible optional camera motions. Navigating with the keyboard letters as controls is fine.
• You should use more than one texture map. Here is the texture mapping example from class. This converter Web service seems very useful for converting texture images to the .bmp format.
• You should have at least one reasonably complex and interesting object in your world. Some examples:
  • An architectural element such as an arch or a row of columns.
  • A 3D fractal plant.
  • A garden of plants imported as .obj files.
  • An animated object, for example a spinning globe of the earth (the Web is full of texture maps for the earth). Or a plant that moves in the breeze.
  • A statue of the lion model, on a pedestal, with specular lighting.
• Your world should have lighting. A single directional light source, like the sun, is fine. The light source should not move with the camera (so the colors of diffuse shaded objects should stay the same as the camera moves).

Here is a tutorial from the Wikibook on camera motion. They also had one on using fog.
