This final project is an implementation of dynamic environment mapping. Spheres are rendered within a room and textured with shaders to properly reflect its surroundings.

The dynamic environment mapping works by first rendering the scene as reflected by the big sphere (only rendering the room and the other two spheres). This gets stored into texture memory and the other scenes are then rendered in the same manner. Once textures have been made for all three spheres, a final pass renders the whole scene with the spheres and their respective textures (explains the reflection of other spheres within the spheres). Animation rotates the spheres by a small increment.

Once the program is executed, you can press z to cycle through various shaders to change the shading mode for the small sphere.
