1 Introduction

==============

	

    This application simulates a poodle dog in the setting of a living room. 

    It provides controls for manipulating the animation of the poodle and 

    the movement of the camera. To run the program, type "dog <filename>",

    where <filename> is the name of a keyframe file. If no file is given, 

    the dog is displayed in a standing pose.

2. Poodle Model

===============



   Highlight of features:

 	- 35 geometric primitives

	- 3 joints in each leg 

	- joints in back legs have 2 degrees of freedom  



==============

3. Environment

==============



   Highlight of features:

   	- Contains: couch, TV, table w/ dishes,flower pots, walls, windows

   	- TV: displays a random static image by taking advantage of the 

	      z-buffer algorithm's error

	- Walls that obscure the vision of the camera disappear 

	  (back face culling algorithm).

   d:     rotate the camera right

   w:     zoom in

   s:     zoom out

   W:     move camera up

   S:     move camera down

   Space: start/stop animation

   k: 	  cycle through keyframes loaded from a file

   1-5:   change camera presets

   ESC:   quit program
