Project 5- Ryan Tong

[ryanryantong]

Was not able to fully debug cluster. Not sure what is wrong, tried many different fixes to no success. My thoughts on what could possibly be wrong:

• Zstride is way too big but should be calculated correctly (far- near) / zSlices. The camera far value is way to big and makes z always 0. Not sure if this is desired
• Projecting to camera space makes z values negative but sometimes positive. Multiplying by -1 still means sometimes there is a negative z meaning that my width/height values are negative possibly messing up floor and min stuff. Not sure if this is desired
• Me not understanding the projection math

Features implemented

• somewhat working clustering
• cluster deferred
• blinn phong

Optimization not implemented but discussed in readme
2 late days used

Comments on this hw:
I thought this hw was a bit too time consuming and irrelevant considering final projects are coming up. Learning js combined with a revisiting shading pipelines from CIS460 was very time consuming especially for a non-graphics student. Also, I would have preferred and third option (ML) because both choices were irrelevant to my final project but I know that is a lot to ask.
