CS380: Introduction to Computer Graphics
Spring 2025
|
Instructor |
Prof. Min Hyuk Kim, [Room] 2403, E3-1, [email] |
Course Description
|
This course provides an introduction to 3D computer graphics. The goal of this course is to learn how to form images by computer. We will study the basic methods used to define shapes, materials and lighting when creating computer-generated images for use in film, games and other applications. Covered topics include affine and projective transformations, clipping and windowing, visual perception, scene modeling and animation, algorithms for visible surface determination, reflection models, illumination algorithms, and color theory in depth. |
