Prediction Studies, Tallahassee, Florida
Computer Graphics Programmer, February 1999 — Present
Developed a tool based on my Master's thesis for studying 3D ocean
flow using Open Inventor.
Designed web pages using HTML Adobe Photoshop
and Illustrator, wrote CGI scripts using Perl,
and created 2D/3D animations using OpenGL, Open Inventor, and
IDL. Developed research
related software using X-Motif, C/C++, and IDL.
Optimized existing computer code in IDL and C++,
and helped co-workers with programming questions.

| PROJECTS
| |
Master's Thesis: http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~grant/projects/mthesis/
The Lagrangian-Eulerian Advection (LEA) alogorithm is extended to
take the vertical motion of a 3D velocity field into account and make it
visible to the user. The proposed technique is compared and contrasted
with existing techniques to show its importance.
IVTrace: http://www.ivtrace.org/
An API for creating photo realistic images with any Open Inventor scene.
It provides an interface to create a scan-line ray tracer and an interactive
3D ray traced / globally illuminated scene.
3D Grapher: http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~grant/projects/3dgrapher/
An interactive tool for graphing three dimensional analytic functions.
A perfect example of how easily applications can be built by subclassing
the Open Inventor libraries.
Marching Cubes: http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~grant/projects/mcubes/
A subclass of the Open
Inventor SoEngine class for generating isosurfaces from a given
scalar field. The engine provides an interface to easily create
isosurfaces using Open Inventor.
