Shiver - Final


Fig 1.1: Splash screen for Shiver

The last week of work on Shiver has primarily been a focus on adding features on the GUI side and tying up some loose ends. The largest new feature is the ability to 'simulate' - which allows a user to simulate a full rotation (or however many wanted) of the globe, outputting the frames as an image sequence. This process allows the user to see the rotation as a movie clip running at full speed. The video in this blog entry is derived from that process.

Shiver is still very much a work in progress - however, I am pleased with the result of my work over the past 6-7 weeks, particularly with knowing that I was able to achieve high-quality imagery in real-time using Python and OpenGL together.
