Graphics Programming - Fireworks and Skyboxes

Due to other coursework taking priority I've not had as much time as i would have liked to focus on graphics programming, However i have made a little bit of progress with the fireworks.

Fireworks

I was able to get the fireworks exploding a little bit better but they are very square in the way they explode so i am still working on them to get them looking more like a firework. I am also going to look into using point sprites and bill boards to achieve the effect as well but here is a little video update. 


Skyboxes

I also added cube maps into my rendering framework which allows me to create skyboxes so i can add backgrounds to my scene. 


By making use of the shaders it is possible to make the skybox reflective. 

Thanks for reading! Any questions or feedback i would love to hear from you.
