Computer Graphics (CAP 5705)
CISE – University of Florida
Course Overview
The goal of this course is to build—not just use—computer graphics environments. Topics include modeling geometry and motion, rendering, and lighting.
Machine learning approaches are introduced but are not the primary focus. Students will gain hands-on experience with industry standards such as OpenGL and C/C++, including modifying example programs.
Familiarity with OpenGL is not required. A review of linear algebra and calculus in a graphics context is recommended.
