Aim:
The course describes the principles and methods for computer generation of synthetic images, animations and interactive graphics applications. After the course you should be able to describe some of the computational models used in computer graphics of how a synthetic image is built up and, more specifically described under "course content". You should be able to use OpenGL to build the synthetic three-dimensional scenes and generate images from them. You should also be able to use this knowledge to design and implement interactive 3D graphics such as simple virtual worlds, 3D games etc.
The course has focus on real-time performance and on using modern methods of the subject. Hence, shader programming (programming of graphics processors) is an essential component of the course.
