Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Basic understanding of modern computer graphics as a whole (modeling, animation, rendering) and ability to implement a number of practical algorithms in C++.
Understanding of how the graphics processor (GPU) works. Hands-on connection to significant applications through guest lectures. Concrete uses for mathematics learned in earlier classes.
