Description
COMP 361. INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER GRAPHICS. A comprehensive introduction to the field of computer graphics. Extensive programming in C++ facilitates knowledge development in the core areas, which include human perception, illumination and shading models, object representation and modeling, classical and current rendering algorithms, and the physical and mathematical foundations of the dominant models and methods. Efficient implementations of these techniques are developed from scratch in parallel with an exploration of application programming interfaces for manipulating dedicated graphics hardware. Prerequisites: Computer Science 222; Mathematics 213; and one of Mathematics 214, Mathematics 222, or Engineering 274. Alternate spring semesters, three hours.
