3D Volleyball Animation by Tanja Sotto

            My project idea...

            Zion and I are thinking of making an animation of a volleyball 
            rolling across wooden floor and a net in the back.

            Depending on what we learn in class, our result is subject to change.
            

            We would like to use lighting, texture mapping, and OpenGL.

            10/10 Update:
            We are going to expand on this idea and put players on a court.

            Progress: practicing with OpenGL and making a volleyball court.

            Thanks to Gordon, we got some helpful hints for our project. We have a couple of problems.
            1. The court lines are crooked and not aligned with the court texture. He suggested to do the lines on the texture itself + do quads for the court.
            2. The net is made of lines and looks very thin. He suggested to do a grid of quads with a texture that has an alpha channel so that the net looks more realistic. Additionally, he suggested to add physics so our net isn't rigid.
            3. The volleyball is made with glutSolidSphere, which does not allow texture mapping. He suggested to look at the bball framework. We should NOT use glUseSphere.
            4. The texture should be from our own photograph, not a stock image.
