Project 4: Caroline Lachanski

[clach]

• Repo Link

• Features:

• Grass compute and graphics pipeline (featuring tessellation)

• Physics sim (wind, gravity, recovery forces)

• Three culling heuristics (orientation, frustum, distance)

• Feedback:
  It's not a bad project, and I personally think the topic (real-time grass rendering) and learning objectives (Vulkan, compute shader, and tessellation) are cool. But...this project is really hard to start. I know we went over Vulkan in the project recitation, but just going over Vulkan specific terms (descriptor set layout, descriptor set, etc, etc) is kinda meaningless and hard to follow. Maybe start with an overview of the project and actually go into the code and be like "look, here's how you would do a descriptor set for a generic model, look it has a model buffer and a sampler."
