  1. Introduction to OpenGL Transformations

  2. How does OpenGL View the Scene? • Since viewing transformation is applied after modeling transformation, you should define viewing transformation first in the modelview matrix • Viewing transformation sets up the camera position and orientation and maps coordinates from the world coordinate system to the viewing coordinate system. • The camera is located at the origin of the viewing coordinate system and faces the –z direction.

  5. Intuitive Camera Specification • How to specify a camera gluLookAt(eyex, eyey, eyez, centerx, centery, centerz, upx, upy, upz). • (eyex, eyey, eyez): Coordinates of the camera (eye) location in the world coordinate system • (centerx, centery, centerz ): the look-at point, which should appear in the center of the camera image, specifies the viewing direction • (upx, upy, upz): an up-vector specifies the camera orientation by defining a world space vector that should be oriented upwards in the final image. • This intuitive specification allows us to specify an arbitrary camera path by changing only the eye point and leaving the look-at and up vectors untouched. • Or we could pan the camera from object to object by leaving the eye-point and up-vector fixed and changing only the look-at point.

  6. Example • void display() { glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER); glColor3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); glLoadIdentity(); gluLookAt(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0); … others transform … glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES); glVertex3f(2.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); glVertex3f(0.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f); glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 2.0f); glEnd(); glFlush(); } Xiaoyu Zhang, CSUSM

  7. Parallel (Orthographic) Projection • Set the viewing volume and matrix • glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity(); glOrtho(left, right, bottom, top, near, far); Xiaoyu Zhang, CSUSM
