This project centers on the development of a dynamic landscape, incorporating various lighting effects through the use of shaders and C++ within a DirectX11 framework. A key feature of the project is the implementation of grass using geometry shaders, which simulates a gentle breeze, adding a layer of realism and vitality to the scene.

​

The project employs several advanced techniques, including:

• Vertex Manipulation: Achieved through the sampling of heightmaps and the application of Nvidia water simulation equations to create realistic terrain and water effects.

• 4-Point Tessellation: Applied to all planes in the scene to enhance surface detail and improve visual fidelity.

• Normal Calculation: Conducted after tessellation using the cross product method to ensure accurate lighting and shading.

• Adjustable Lighting: Features fully configurable lighting parameters, allowing for a range of lighting conditions and effects to be tested and fine-tuned.

• Post-Processing Effects: Includes sophisticated effects such as chromatic aberration and Gaussian blur to enhance the overall visual quality and depth of the scene.

• Customizable Grass Generation: Enabled through the use of geometry shaders and tessellation, allowing for the creation of realistic and responsive grass behavior that reacts to environmental factors.
