For the first lab in 788 (Procedural Worlds), I was instructed to create procedural canyons.

In order to accomplish this I decided to write a flash application to be able to do all sorts of fun things with generating the terrain.

Soon things will be in order.

The class has come to an end and I have generated my final images to turn into the professor.

I was awarded “Best Images” by Dr. Rick Parent!

There were some other really impressive entries, but I think the complexity of my scenes (since I was able to get time at ACCAD to render across 100 instances) helped make my images stand out.

So I decided to go all out and see if I could write a network distributed renderer for my raytracer…. I can
