| Assignments | Topics | Starter Code Package | Due Date |
| Assignment 0 (warm-up): | Getting familiar with half-edge data structure and OpenGL. Compile and link the provided MeshLib and MeshGUI packages, use "print-screen" to take a snapshop of a picture you rendered and send it back to me. | MeshLib, and MeshGUI (see below) | Jan. 23 |
| Assignment 1: | Normals and the orientability of a surface (triangle mesh) | MeshViewer | Feb. 13 |
| Assignment 2: | Discrete Harmonic Map | -- | Mar. 2nd |
| Assignment 3: | Low Distorted Texture Mapping | TextureMapper, TextureImages |
| Packages | Compile/Link | Output |
| GLEW | Find the workspace file in the directory "build" (it is for VC6, but convertible for higher VC version). | *.lib in the diretory "lib", remember to build both the debug and release versions |
| FLTK (include fluid) | Find the "fltk" workspace file in "visualc", "vcnet", or "vc2005". | *.lib in the diretory "lib", remember to build both the debug and release versions |
| MeshLib | Create your own project and include these source codes | -- |
| A "HelloWorld" MeshGUI (FLTK) (A more powerful version here) | A VC2008 version, you can create your own console project and include source codes | -- |
| Some triangular mesh data (in .m file) | -- | -- |
