Assignment from Physically Based Modeling and Animation (VIZA 659) at the Texas A&M Visualization Laboratory (a.k.a. the Viz Lab).

This one is a triangulated springy mesh attached at the four corners, being subjected to varying amounts of gravity and wind, as well as variable spring constants and damper values.

Programmed entirely in C++ and OpenGL using the Qt Interface Library.

This is a quick and dirty tutorial of the design process in TopMod for a shotglass you can print with a 3D printer like a RepRap or a MakerBot.

It is traditional to print a glass to toast the new 'bot with, as the very first object it prints... and I felt like the shotglass should not look like it could have been made with a more traditional machine tool like a lathe, or like it came out of a mold.
