Volleyball Rendering on a Court!!!
        

(Project by Zion Magdangal and Tanja Sotto)

We have decided on a bouncing volleyball on a court. We want to add a glossy wood floor and even a net! What we need to do! - Rendering and Placing a Volleyball on a court with raytraced lighting! - Moving the camera around - Implmenting movement of some sort (i.e bouncing or moving)

We're going to be able to bounce across a scene when dropped from a height. Using ray-tracing, We can implement shadows from a set lightsource on a court. We will be using lab 7 as a good basis on rendering a ball on the screen as well as animating. as seen, this is my lab gif that I made but we plan on being able to pass a volleyball around the court with players the scene will look like this!

I was able to render in a volleyball texture and make a gif that invovles a bouncing volleyball on a court floor!

        New Update! After learning how to make a grid, we used the flag.cpp code to make both sides rigid and apply a texture to the net
        
        
            11/25/25 Made the net more rigid and interact with a thrownball as seen in the gif below!
