Spooky Ghost and Graveyard Scene

We created a spooky ghost and graveyard scene because we wanted to experiment with transparent materials, lighting, and spooky animations.

Project Details

Key features of our scene include:

• Two animated flying ghosts that glide around the graveyard in circular patterns, rising and falling rhythmically
• Keyboard interactivity:
  • Press 0 to toggle the ghost animation on and off
  • Press 1 to toggle the first row of graves
  • Press 2 to toggle the second row of graves
  • Press 3 to toggle the third row of graves
  • Press 4 to toggle the fourth row of graves
  • Press S to play a spooky sound effect
• Glowing candles with orange flames and point lights that cast shadows
• Fences constructed from repeated pickets and a top rail enclosing the graveyard
• Textured gravestones with curved tops to resemble real headstones
• Fog and directional lighting to add depth, mood, and shadow effects
