A simple program to create high-resolution heightmaps from 2D images and sequence them for animation. It also allows the user to compare 2 different data sources as height maps for a quick differential visualization. The program took a few hours to write, but it is useful.
OpenGL Light Demo
OpenGL Light: Teaching Tool [2004]
The OpenGl demonstration tool to demonstrate the interaction of light, geometry and materials in computer graphics. The tool uses C++ OpenGL to demonstrate 4 light types (ambient, directional, point and spot), several materials and a short list of object primitives and 3D models. This is a basic teaching tool for experience-based education.
NFF Parser Example

NFF 3D File Viewer [2004]
3D model and scene viewer based on the now deprecated NFF WorldToolKit 3D scene description files. It supports only wire frame and flat shaded monochromatic renders. Since there are plenty of great 3D model parsers in the world, I am no longer working to improve this program. Included in the source code files (Windows C++)are a few NFF files. The read me file contains the scene navigation controls (mouse dragging and keys).

XSL Editor: Web Design Tool [2003]
A program to help help web designers program XSL (Extensible style sheet Language) and XPATH queries for use with XML. This program was my thesis for Northwestern University's Computer Information systems Masters of Science.
