Rec. self-study hours: 112

  Area of Education: Technology

Subject area: Computer Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
Provide knowledge of current and advanced methods in computer graphics for modeling and animation of virtual objects.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Computer Graphics Linear Algebra, Calculus in several variables, Physical Modelling, Programmering

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course starts with a series of lectures, providing an overview and presenting the theory in the field. The lecture material is accompanied by a set of laboratory exercises to demonstrate the theory in action. Towards the end of the course there is a more extensive project assignment. At the end of the course a written exam is given. To complete the course, students must have passed the lab exercises, the project assignment and the written exam. Grades are based entirely on the written exam.

Course contents:
Facial animation and modeling. Subdivision surfaces. Non-photorealistic rendering. Camera issues in keyframe animation. Procedural modeling. Procedural animation. Physics simulation and inverse kinematics. Hair and cloth. Artificial intelligence in animation.

Course literature:
To be annonced. Additionaly, the course aims at providing knowledge of current research and development, so the course material will partly consist of research papers in the field. Such additional material will be distributed by the department.
