In my graphics lab today, due to the cancelled lecture yesterday, we dedicated half of the lab to having the lecture, this spilled over to the lab half slightly but it gave us a detailed description of what was required of us this week as this week would give us the baseline for a pass on the graphics assessment. The task was to create the viewing pipeline in order to display the md2 object in the window made by the framework. The viewing pipeline has 4 main steps: the model transformation, the viewing transformation, the projection transformation and the screen transformation. These all take the matrix, dehomogenise the coordinates and allow them to be put onto a 2d plane. Due to the volume of calculations required to do this, I spent the remainder of the session reinforcing my framework making it much more modular and less fragile. In networking we were tasked to get the vigenere running over a network framework made by the lecturer. In this tutorial I spent most of the time reading into the new framework as whenever the lecturer has presented one in the past, it has had clues to the final assessment.
