Previous Contents Description: This class covers advanced topics in computer graphics. The main goal of the course is to cover algorithms and concepts used in the production of realistic graphics images. We will cover global illumination models (ray tracing and radiosity), curve and surface generation, antialiasing, shadow generation techniques, texture mapping, and animation. If time premits topics such as fractals and volume rendering will be covered.

New Contents Description: This term students will study material for SIGGRAPH course notes and make presentations on them.

Homework: Problems will be provided for practice. Students are encouraged to know how to correctly work all problems. Selected problems will be collected for grading. The instructor is available for help.
