Visual Experiments

Implementation of various algorithms that produce visually pleasing imagery

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is required to run the app

1. Gravitational attraction to one point

Brute force, calculated in OpenGL vertex shader

one_attractor.mp4

2. N-body simulation

Brute force, calculated in OpenGL vertex shader

n_body.mp4

3. Mandelbrot

Calculated in OpenGL compute shader. Each iteration is displayed next frame to achieve animation of fractal growing

fractal_1.mov

fractal_2.mov

fractal_3.mov

4. Collision detection

Calculated in OpenGL compute shaders. Implementation of this article (https://developer.nvidia.com/gpugems/gpugems3/part-v-physics-simulation/chapter-32-broad-phase-collision-detection-cuda) using simple Verlet integration.
