Do one of the following three projects:
multi-degree of freedom models, build a tornado, high quality image.
<P>
<H1>Multi-Degree of Freedom Models</H1>
Build a model of at least two multi-degree of freedom items.
One should be bipedal or have more legs.
The models should have at least two levels of detail.
For example, moving a leg causes both the upper and lower legs to move
in a pattern.  You will want a sort of state engine or mapping function
for each sub part.  This will be driven by a parameter.
Build a movie of the two items moving.
<P>
An example of a multi-degree of freedom item is this
<A HREF=foils-old3/g091901.gif>robot arm</A>.
There are a number of parts that need to move as a group.  That
is, moving the base of the arm will also move the hand and the fingers.

<HR>
<P>
<H1>Build a Tornado</H1>
Either take real data (ie from the Vis5D example) or fake a small part
of a tornado.  Build a visiaulization of the data with at least three
visiaulization/graphic techniques to get the result.
A
<A HREF=tornado.html>sloppy model</A> for a tornado is specified.

<HR>
<P>
<H1>High Quality Image</H1>
Design and build a image with a tool to produce at least 
ray-tracing quality of images.  
(A free, and powerful tool, is 
Persistence Of Vision(POV-Ray)Trace 
<A HREF=http://www.povray.org>http://www.povray.org/ </A>).
Either use the multimedia center's high end programs or 
tools you can find elsewhere.  This works best if you have
someone that knows the tool.
