Qualifications: (Pending Graduation March 2005) Bachelor of Engineering Software Engineering (4 Years)
Software Engineering Project:
Title: A 3d terrain engine based on 2.5d surfaces.
Summary: Used complex 2d polygons with height data to construct arbitrary 3d terrain. This was then rendered using DirectX with its own engine written in C++. I implemented features such as:
Sphere to triangle collision detection and reaction.
Frustum culling
Axis aligned bounding boxes
Support for X meshes.

C++ Code Snippet: Algorithm to create sky sphere mesh for an indexed triangle list
int stacks = 8;
int slices = 16;
//make sphere
verticies.push_back(new SKYSPHEREVERTEX(0,radius,0));
float step_slices = (2 * D3DX_PI) / slices;
float step_stack = (2 * radius) / (stacks);
for (int i=1;i float f = (D3DX_PI/stacks) * i;
f = radius * cos(f);
float radii = fabs(sqrt((radius * radius) - (f*f

Fractal Terrain Generator (C#):
Figure 3 Screenshot of a fractal heightmap from the fractal generator.
This fractal generator uses a seeded midpoint algorithm to generate the fractal terrain for my software engineering project.
Terrain block editor (C#):
Figure 4 Screenshot of my terrain block editor.
The terrain editor can take a block of land generated by the fractal terrain generator, manipulate its surfaces and add new surfaces.
It will also create land blocks from scratch. It uses linear interpolation with scattered points to define the surface heights.
Terrain block editor level of detail:
Figure 5 Terrain LOD example
This is an example of the level of detail available in the terrain editor. It will simplify surfaces on the fly, but will maintain the joining edges.
2004 RAD Project (TopoGraph Terrain Generator, C#)
In semester one of my fourth year studying software engineering, I developed software to generate terrain based on land feature data. I used Visual C# for this project.
It works by taking input information on the type of terrain and generates a set of heights. A delaunay triangulation is performed on this set, which is then used to render Bezier triangles to a bitmap. This would be used as a height map that is passed through some thermal and hydraulic erosion algorithms.
The finial result is then displayed using Managed DirectX.
