CISE UFL     Computer Graphics   cap 5705 (section 3789)

Computer Graphics is the introductory graphics course.
Students will learn the theory and how to program interactive graphics environments, basic illumination and modeling of curved geometry (camera, light and actors).
Structures underlying graphics and practical implementation are emphasized. (This is not a "programming course")
Central concepts are: curves, surfaces, composition, matrix multiplication, parametrization.
The learning environment is OpenGL (with extensions) and C or C++. 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.
