Course Brief
This course covers major contemporary graphics and animation techniques. Students are given the mathematical foundations of the subject as well as other theoretical foundations such as perceptual theories. These theoretical aspects are taught in the context of their practical use. Students are introduced to some industry standard graphics software tools so that they are familiar with how they work, but the main focus is on programming the graphical software. The material covered in the course is chosen to reflect the research carried out at Goldsmiths, University of London. The course covers advanced 2D and particularly 3D techniques, including a range of topics such as 3D modelling and texturing; rendering; lighting; animation; hardware acceleration in graphics; applications areas such as recreating historical environments. Students are expected to implement basic graphics software.
