Abstract: This lecture is the introductory course to Computer Graphics. The course teaches the algorithms used to program a computer to generate images of a geometric models with associated appearance properties. Starting with introductory lectures on the basics of surfaces and light propagation the course will focus on the two well known rendering methods, CPU and GPU-based ray-tracing and GPU-accelerated raster graphics. Topics include:

Basics

Geometric Models: Meshes, Implicit Surfaces, Splines
Color & Perception
Light Transport

3D Image Generation Methods

OpenGL, DirectX, CUDA
Ray Tracing I: basics
Ray Tracing II: acceleration techniques

Fast Intersection Tests
Space Partitioning & Bounding Volume Hierarchies
GPU-acceleration

Rasterization & GPU-based rendering

Linear and Affine Transformations
Rasterization and Shading
Clipping
Visibility & Shadows
Curves & surfaces
Sampling Theory

Seminar: How to Deliver an Engaging Speech - Eine Einführung in elementare Vorbereitungs- und Vortragstechniken

Kick-off & Meeting Registration: October 11, 12:00 c.t.
Time & Place: Thu. 12:00-14:00 s.t. LF 125
Instructors: Prof. Dr. J. Krüger & team
Course Langugage: English or German
Audience: Bachelor & Master

Abstract: In addition to the scientific content in this seminar we will put special emphasis on the presentation. To improve the presentation skills of the participants we will start the seminar with simpe topics, record short talks from each participant, and analyze the presentation. Students then give a seminar talk on their chosen topic.

Inhalt: Wir werden verschiedene nichtmenschliche Avatare (Vögel, Dinos, u.ä.) in die virtuelle Realität integrieren. Dabei untersuchen wir Lösungsansätze, wie wir solche Kreaturen am besten steuern können und wie wir uns und die Umwelt dabei wahrnehmen.
Voraussetzungen:

gute oder sehr gute Unity3D-Kenntnisse und/oder...
gute oder sehr gute Kenntnisse im Bereich 3D-Modellierung + Animation
