| Objectives |
Computer graphics methods are essential for many areas, such as visual effects in movies, computer games, scientific and information visualization, and many others. In this course, participants will learn basic computer graphics techniques, and will understand the general concepts behind real-time and photo-realistic rendering. Besides the fundamental principles, this course will also provide a glance on modern approaches in computer graphics and visualization. A sufficient introduction into WebGL, GPU shader programming in CUDA, and visualization libraries, such as the Visualization Toolkit (VTK are parts of the hands-on component of this class.
