Goals

The goal of this project is to create a graphics program using OpenGL to enable walking through a procedurally created virtual world. Our virtual world starts above sea level, and as the user moves, they are introduced to the depths of the ocean. There, one can see and navigate through sea life, including fish, sharks, seaweeds, rocks, caves, and more. This terrain is procedurally created.

Features

• Procedural World Generation (Using marching cubes)
• Procedural Foliage Generation
• Random Foliage Placement
• Procedure Foliage Animation
• Procedural Fish Generation with Procedural Animation
• Fish AI for Navigation
• Volumetric Lighting
• Water Caustic Effect
• Procedural Ocean Surface
• Story Cutscene Featuring Original Assets
