Purpose of Course:

Techniques for generating 3-D scenes and interacting with the generated scenes will be covered. Materials in this course are complementary to those in Computer Graphics I.

Contents:

1. Review of Computer Graphics I
2. Basics of Open GL Programming
3. Representation and Modeling of 3-D Objects
4. Parametric Curves and Surfaces
5. Shading and Texture Mapping
6. Image-Based Rendering
7. Computer Animation

Learning Goals:

The objective of this course is to study the principles behind shading and texture mapping, realistic rendering and manipulation of 3-D objects, and character animation. Some of the concepts learned in the classroom will be practiced through programming.

Projects and Exams:

There will be two programming assignments, a midterm exam, and a final project. Final project will be an extension of the assignments.

Grading Policy:

Programming assignments will worth 40%, midterm exam will worth 30%, and final project will worth 30% of the total grade.

Calendar:

Others:

Color X-Window terminals and Unix workstations are available in room 152B RC and PCs are available in room 152C RC for program development.
