3D Modelling

You can click on each image to view the VRML model. For this to work you must have a VRML plugin installed. I recommend Cortona for Windows or Mac OS and FreeWRL for Linux. The CSE labs don't have a VRML browser installed yet.
X wing and its local coordinate system. xwing in local coordinate system
Putting the x wing in the world -- just need transformation from x wing's coordinate system (UVN) to world coordinate system (XYZ). world with x wing
R2D2 and his local coordinate system. r2 in local coordinates
Putting R2D2 in the back of the x wing requires a transformation from R2D2's coordinate system to that of the X wing. r2 in x wing in world
A snake can be defined as an extrusion with a varying scale factor (to make the head and tail), where the spine is just a sine curve. Extruded snake
