Curved Surfaces and Textures
Grading Algorithm
| Category | Weight |
|---|---|
| Tests | 50% |
| Projects | 50% |
Test and project points are accumulated separately and converted into percentages of the available points.
Final grades are curved based on peer performance clusters and adjusted to align with the typical course mean.
Advanced Graphics Topics
Topics include fractals, collision detection, tessellation engines, compute shaders, and space partitioning.
