Description

This course offers an in-depth exploration of fundamental concepts in 2D and 3D computer graphics. It introduces 2D raster graphics techniques, including scan conversion, simple image processing, interaction techniques and user interface design. The bulk of the course is devoted to 3D modeling, geometric transformations, and 3D viewing and rendering. A sequence of assignments in C++ culminates in a simple geometric modeler and ray tracer. Prerequisite: CSCI0160 or CSCI0180 or CSCI0190; either CSCI0320 or CSCI0360 is strongly recommended. Students who do not know C++ should take a minicourse on it offered during the first week of the semester. MATH0520 is strongly recommended.
