Project OceanGate

A CS-341 Final Project simulating an underwater environment inspired by Subnautica, centered around the submerged wreck of the OceanGate submarine. The scene captures the eerie beauty of the ocean depths, populated with fish using boid-based movement and enhanced by a range of real-time graphics effects.

Features

• Fog: Post-processing based atmospheric attenuation for underwater depth perception.
• Bloom: HDR-based glow effects using Gaussian blur and luminance thresholding.
• Boids: Schooling fish with smooth, flocking behavior and jitter randomness.
• FPS Camera: Free-roaming first-person camera with mouse-look and keyboard navigation.
• Bezier Camera: Cinematic fly-through animation using Bézier curves.
• 2D Terrain Generation: Procedural seabed using Perlin and dendry-inspired noise.
• Normal Mapping: Realistic surface detail using procedural textures.
• Modeling: Custom Blender-made submarine, fish, and rocks.
• Alpha Cutouts: Coral-like decorations with alpha texture discard for performance.
