Abstract:

The goal of this course is to create a foundation (conceptual and mathematical) for understanding the current and future technology underlying computer graphics. Our intention is to create a synergistic mixture of theory and practice.

The first part of the class begins with introductory lectures into the mathematical fundamentals of computer graphics and workshops in programming 3D graphics. In the second part the class moves to current state of the art methods which are presented by the students. Examples of typical subjects which will be covered are:

    - 3D modelling
    - 3D lighting & effects
    - Real time rendering
    - Advanced applications and systems

Requirements: C and/or C++

Textbook: Computer Graphics Using Open GL by F. S. Hill, Jr. (Prentice-Hall, 2001 or later, ISBN: 0-02-354856-8)

Grading (7 EC):

    - Student Presentations/Attendance: 50%, Workshops: 20%, Project: 30%
