Physics Simulation for 3D graphics and games   [cis 6930-2D31 (cis4930 - 07B5)]
    CISE UFL

The course will combine lecture and seminar elements. Students give presentations of projects to illustrate their comprehension of the new material and papers in the literature.
The goal will be to better understand various components of interactive simulation. Topics will include game physics, rendering and animation.
The course will use Blender (or Maya), numerical computing techniques and 3D computer graphics programming (for example cap4730 or cap5705 ).
If you are not familiar with at least two of Blender/Maya, Numerical Computing or Computer Graphics, this course may not be for you. If in doubt, check with the instructor.
