Computer Graphics cap 5705
CISE UFL

Computer Graphics is the introductory graphics course. Students will learn to program interactive graphics environments, basic illumination and modeling of curved geometry (camera, light and actors). The learning environment is OpenGL (with extensions) and C or C++.
Central concepts are: curves, surfaces, composition, matrix multiplication, parametrization.
Familiarity with C or C++ is helpful -- otherwise the learning curve can be steep in the first weeks.
Familiarity with OpenGL is not assumed. But students are expected to work to understand and modify OpenGL example programs and example linux makefiles for compilation.
Structures underlying graphics and practical implementation are emphasized. (This is not a programming course)
