- Introduction to Computer Graphics

Catalog description

This course introduces the basics of interactive computer graphics including software and hardware requirements for computer graphics systems, graphics data structures, algorithms, and graphics applications. This course is an introduction to the rendering of 2D/3D computer graphics images. It starts with an overview of interactive computer graphics, two-dimensional systems, and mapping, then it presents the important drawing 2D/3D graphic algorithms, geometric transformations, viewing, clipping, lighting, shading, and texture mapping using WebGL. Students will work with dedicated graphics computers to complete laboratory exercises and course projects.
