Project 5: Yuhan Liu

Using my last late day!

Features:

• Vulkan grass rendering pipeline
• Physical forces applied to grass in compute shader
• Culling optimization in compute shader
• Tessellation shaders

Extra Features:

• Distance-based tessellation
• [Not officially an extra credit but I'm pretty proud of results!] 2 additional complex blade shapes (all rendered in one scene), inspired by dandelion leaves in the paper

Feedback:

• I'm not sure if I completely understand the Vulkan base code, or the theory behind tessellation shaders, but this project was generally a good introduction to a new API. The paper implementation was very straightforward. I didn't need the breakdown in the README/recitation notes and could implement it solely from reading the paper.
