If you got your copy of the prog5 before Thur., Dec. 4 at 10:40pm, please note that a fix has been added to surfaces.c. This fix enables double-sided lighting and the double-sided material. To update, simply replace the function init_lighting() of the old file with the version from the new file.

Project 5 is due Wednesday, December 10, 2003, 11:59pm. A windows port using glut is available at "~jang/public/cs4451/prog5/". Please see the readme.txt file for more information. The necessary gl/glut files can found in the same place as prog2. For help on setting up gl/glut in MSVC6, see these instructions.
