Design your own hierarchical model using geometric transformations. In this programming assignment, you will learn to use OpenGL and PyGLET.

Specification

[5 point] The model should have a hierarchy of at least three levels (i.e., 3 links and 2 intermediate joints at least)

• Each link can be created by applying geometric transformations (e.g., non-uniform scaling) to geometric primitives such as Box, Sphere, Cone, Cylinder, Tetrahedron, Line, Triangle, Rectangle, Torus, Circle, or Plane.
• Rendering quality and texture usage will not be considered in the evaluation of this assignment.

[5 point] Animate the model to show the hierarchical structure. The animation should clearly demonstrate that your model has at least 3-level hierarchy. For example,

• a car driving with rotating wheels
• a runner with arms and legs swing

[5 point] Make it aesthetically appealing or technically illustrative.

[5 point] Write a report describing

• what you implemented and how it aligns with the specifications.
• a detailed instruction on how to run and use your program
• screenshots of your program when it runs correctly
• any reference you referred and any 3rd party material/code/model you used

Submit a single ZIP file through ETL. The ZIP should include your code, data, report, and all necessary files to run your code.

You should also include a recorded video of your program.
