Following the success of the London Eye, there are a number of similar wheels appearing throughout the country. I have been asked by a friend to do him a favour and construct a Ferris Wheel in an open space in front of a library. Your task is to design a working model of the wheel using C in OpenGL, so that I can gain a feel for how it might look.
Could you please make sure that it is very simple. Your design should adhere to the following:-
* the framework should consist of a tall vertical pillar, on top of which is a short horizontal bar protruding beyond the pillar and with a sphere attached to its end (the pillar and bar should be coloured orange and with no specular reflection effects- intended to be cylinders but approximated by a tube constructed from rectangular facets; sphere should be red and again approximated by facets)
* five spokes, each with a cabin attached, are connected to the sphere in a plane normal to the direction of the bar
* each cabin has flat roof and floor, with hexagonal sides - the lower half of each side is grey metallic in appearance with a high specular reflection coefficient, while the upper half is translucent
* each cabin is initially upright
* as the sphere rotates (in the plane of the spokes), the spokes rotate but each cabin remains upright
* the pillar is placed in the grassy area in front of the library
* You don’t need to draw the library in 3D. This can be any simple picture (ie JPEG) of a library
The initial viewpoint is from a position facing the Ferris wheel and the Library, at an eye-point level with the sphere at the top of the pillar (i.e., above ground level). The scene should be lit by a single light source, positioned so that specular effects will be visible.
