This page is about my animation I created for the second assignment for KXA354 Computer Graphics at the University of Tasmania in 2006. It might not be an overly impressive animation - but considering how much work it took - I decided it was worth showing off.

NOTE - this assignment was created using C++ and OpenGL. It was NOT created using modeling packages etc.

The evil Croatoan aliens have invaded our galaxy - and so far we havent been able to stop them. Finally the Earth Alliance drew the line at the planet Rimble. This animation tells the story.

Defense_of_Rimble-Large.mov - 10.5mb
Defense_of_Rimble-Small.mov - 2.20mb

Executable
Defense_of_Rimble.zip - 5.11
Note - this requires OpenGL and Quicktime to work. It also needs a fairly decent computer (it went all stupid when I tried running it on my parents PC). Open the zip and run the assig2.exe file. When the black screen comes up (after the DOS window) press 'A' to start the animation. You can press 'P' to pause it, 'F' to go into Full-Screen mode, and 'Q' to quit the animation.
