For a graphics class at the University of North Carolina I developed an algorithm to approximate global illumination. These were the first two tests:

For the final project of the CS 265 Computer Architecture class at the University of North Carolina, Rob Wheeler and I designed a low-end graphics chip (write-up, GitHub). A simulator was used to generate this teapot:

Here’s some advice on premultiplication of colors with alpha.

I spent a lot of time at PDI working on issues of gamma correction in graphics.

Six years later, he and I worked on the dynamics of a bowling strike. It was rendered on the simulator for the PixelFlow graphics machine I was working on at UNC.
