Computer Graphics for Visual Effects. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisites: CS 113 or CS 115 . This course introduces students to computer graphics and interactive visual techniques. Students will learn the theory and implement code of 2D and 3D graphics algorithms for visual effects. Topics include image processing, visualization, crowd simulation, physics-based simulation, particle systems, constraints, and artificial intelligence for visual effects. Mathematical concepts such as vector and matrix operations that underlie the general concepts will be covered.
