- ( 20 points ) The given curve is rovolved about the x-axis or y-axis. Find the area and
volume of the resulted surface and object.
- y = √(4 - x2) -1 ≤ x ≤ 1
( about x-axis )
- x = √(a2 - y2) 0 ≤ y ≤ a/2 ( about y-axis )
Write a program that generates the surfaces from the curves ( assume any value of a you prefer ).
- ( 10 points ) Search the Internet to download a .3ds file. Render the 3ds object;
customize your display with your own lighting effect, camera view and rotation.
- (10 points ) Write a program that generates a double-headed arrow prism. ( In the class, we
have discussed a single-headed arrow prism. )
- ( 20 points ) Find a Frenet frame for the hyperbola given by
x(t) = sec ( t )
y(t) = tan ( t )
z(t) = t
Write a program that generates a tube using the above hyperbola.
Extra Credit ( 15 points ) Use blender to create a 3-D chess piece.
Besides the demo, turn in a copy of the steps you have used to create it.
Make a demo to the instructor before or after a class or during the office hours. Progams must be able to be compiled and run in the machines of the lab.
