Course Objectives
  • The course is designed to provide good introduction to computer graphics leading to the ability to understand  all terminology, progress, and trends.
  • An introduction to computer graphics techniques which focus on 2D, 3D modeling, and rendering.
  • An introduction  to geometric transformations, geometric algorithms, software systems (OpenGL), 3D object models and anti-aliasing. 
  • Course subjects is designed to meet the needs of the users of interactive computer graphics systems.

Intended Learning Outcomes and Competences
  • Fundamental knowledge in principles of computer graphics (vector and raster)
  • Fundamental knowledge in basic operations of planar (2D) and spatial (3D) graphics, principles of main graphics application interfaces
  • Fundamental knowledge in methods and algorithms for rasterization of lines, circles and curves, filling of closed areas, methods and algorithms for transformations, visibility solving, lighting, shading, and texturing.
  • Fundamental knowledge in concepts of interactive computer graphics and creating interactive graphics applications in C++ using one or more graphics application programming interfaces.
  • Fundamental knowledge in graphics hardware.
  • Fundamental knowledge in writing program functions to implement graphics primitives and geometrical transformations.
  • Fundamental knowledge in computer graphics animation.
  • The ability to design and present consumer products using 3D graphic models and multimedia applications (audio, video, graphics and text.)
  • The ability to work in team.
  • The ability to build interactive user interface to manipulate objects in a 3D scene.
