Online storefront for Silver Gallery selling Canadian and American native art ranging from clever, affordable jewelry pieces to elaborate artwork worth thousands of dollars.

Python Django CSS JS

2010

A short 3D demo produced using a self-written pipeline created for my first computer graphics course. Defined a file format for 3D models and imported building models created by classmates. Created a fully scriptable kinematic camera motion system. Rendered using a basic OpenGL fixed-function-pipeline renderer written in C++.
