28 Grading Specifications required functionality and features Style and documentation Aesthetics Quality Appealing extras bonus marks

29 Academic Integrity Policy Feel free to discuss assignments with each other, but coding must be done individually Feel free to incorporate code or tips you find on the Web, provided this doesn t make the assignment trivial and you explicitly acknowledge your sources Remember: we can Google too!

30 What is Computer Graphics? Computer graphics is concerned with all aspects of producing images using a computer: Modeling - how to represent shape of objects Animation - how to represent and control motion Rendering - how to create images of objects Image Processing - how to manipulate and edit images This course will cover the above theoretical aspects and provide practical training using the OpenGL graphics library 30

31 Modeling How to represent objects Take the real and turn it into a virtual representation Describe (approximate) the real world or fictional objects using mathematics If the image does not exist in real life, a blueprint is drawn by an artist 31

32 Animation Control and represent motion of the objects keyframe - inverse kinematics performance-based procedural physics based [simulation] 32

33 Rendering How to create images of objects Color Lighting Shading Surface detail (texture) Reflection, transparency, shadows 33

34 Image Processing Various effects Scene completion example shown later High dynamic range increase ratio of light to dark 34

35 Computer Graphics Goals 1. Create synthetic images which cannot be distinguished from reality Autodesk s Fake or photo Quiz 35

36 Computer Graphics Goals 2. Create a new reality (not necessarily scientific) Scene completion using Millions of Photographs James Hays, Alexei Efros Non-photorealistic rendering Aaron Hertzmann, Denis Zorin 36

37 Tentative Lecture Schedule 37

38 You will learn a lot! Fundamental concepts of 3D Graphics Common algorithms used in Graphics How to write programs using OpenGL How to deliver a project focused on 3D Graphics 38

39 You will be able to Write C/C++ and OpenGL applications such as computer games and other graphical applications 39

40 Required Resources OpenGL works on all popular systems Windows: check graphics card properties for level of OpenGL supported Linux: Mesa (software implementation of OpenGL) Mac: need extensions for 3.1 equivalence Get GLFW from web Get GLEW from web 40

41 After this course COMP 376 COMP 476 COMP 477 Intro to Game Development Advanced Game Development Animation COMP 498/691G Computer Vision 41
