Project 5: Muqiao Lei

[rmurdock41]

Repo : https://github.com/rmurdock41/Project5-Vulkan-Grass-Rendering

Features Implemented:

• Real-time grass rendering in Vulkan using quadratic Bezier curves with three control points
• GPU physics simulation computing gravity, recovery force, and wind force in compute shaders
• Three culling techniques (orientation, view-frustum, distance) optimizing blade visibility in compute shaders
• Tessellation-based geometry generation using tessellation control and evaluation shaders

Extra Features:

• Distance-based LOD system with smooth tessellation level transitions
• Procedural skybox with gradient sky, sun rendering, and simple clouds
• Enhanced grass shading with Lambert lighting, wrap-around lighting, and rim light effects
