It is light that reveals the shape and form of objects. Graphics rendering techniques try to model the interaction between light and objects to create synthetic images. It has been one of the most fascinating research direction in graphics. This course covers both photorealistic and nonphotorealistic rendering. Traditional photorealistic rendering algorithms include ray-tracing and radiosity.
Classes have mixed lectures and paper presentations.
Grading is based on class attendance, paper presentation, homeworks, and an extra term project for those who register 1 unit.
