Mon, Sept 27 More on eigenvectors of subdivision matrices. We'll start to look at image-based rendering today. You can skim sections 1.1-1.2, all of section 2, and section 4.1. Answer these two reading questions , in writing, and hand them in in class. Mon, Oct 4 We'll look at our subdivision surfaces and compare notes.
Class meets in the graphics lab.
