The cs99d final projects took many forms, including papers, drawings, computer models, and computer programs. This page includes some of the online content of the computer-oriented projects. There were many other fascinating projects; this is just a sampling of those projects suited to the web.
David wrote a java applet that uses a 2D construction technique to demonstrate perspective projection. This technique flattens the 3-D perspective problem down to two 2-D perspective projections, which can be done simultaneously on the same sheet of paper. His program allows the user to move the viewpoint around, select different models, and toggle lines on and off. His Perspective Assistant Page provides good documentation for a very cool applet.
Anne modeled St. Peter's Basilica in Softimage. She acquired architectural diagrams of the Basilica, to create a dimensionally accurate model. Then she gave a convincing demonstration that the building in Raphael's painting "Philosophy (School of Athens)" matches quite closely with the state of St. Peter's Basilica around 1510.
Dennis modeled Masaccio's Temple in Alias. Using the painting as a template, he carefully modeled the geometry by hand to match the painting. His model was fairly large, so he's still putting together / rendering the final animation...
Lauren implemented Horry, Anjyo, and Arai's "Tour Into the Picture" technique (Siggraph '97 Proceedings p. 225). Starting with Salvadore Dali's painting, "Persistence of Memory", she used PhotoShop to paint masks of the objects at different depth levels, and painted in the missing information occluded by foreground objects. She mapped these images and masks onto planes, creating a pseudo-3D model of the scene.
