Project 5: Jordan Hochman

[JHawk0224]

• Repo Link
• Features Implemented
  • Grass rendering pipeline in Vulkan
  • Gravity, wind, and recovery/resistance forces
  • State validation and correction for grass blades
  • Orientation, view-frustum, and distance culling
  • Grass blade tessellation
  • Tessellation lod based on distance
• Feedback: I really liked this project and thought it was a good intro to Vulkan. I do think there was a little too much base/template code, even knowing it's Vulkan which requires a ton of set up work. It would have been more helpful to get my hands slightly dirtier in developing for Vulkan rather than just writing shaders. However I did enjoy the shaders themselves, and the final output for the project is very cool!
