- Synopsis:
-
Students are able to program a simple interactive 3D graphical application like a computer game or scientific visualisation, to design the scene, add textures imitating geometric details and materials (like wall surface, wood, sky), and set up the lighting. At the same time, they understand the fundamental principles and terms used in computer graphics, such as graphical pipeline, geometric transformations, or lighting model. They gain knowledge allowing orientation in computer graphics, and representing solid fundamentals for your professional development, e.g. for GPU programming and animations. They get used to techniques utilised in geometric modelling, modelling of curves and surfaces, and scientific visualisation.
- Requirements:
-
Basic knowledge of C/C++, programming and debugging of source codes, linear algebra, mathematical analysis, passing the exam from BI-MGA.
The subject can be studied by 3rd year of bachelor studies, prerefeed for the specialization Web and multimedia. For the exceptions the students must apply individually the vicedean for study in cases if he/she has not studied at least 4 active terms at the FIT. The main criteria to approve the application for exception are the study results (in particular in those subjects related to this subject) and the unused capacity of classes.

-
1. Graphical user interface and its standardizations, OpenGL library, graphical primitives.
2. Graphical primitives and their attributes, GLUT library.
3. Euclidean space, coordinate systems, transformations.

- Study Objective:
-
The goal the module is to explain the basic notions and principles of computer graphics (e.g., textures, lighting, transformations), to learn simple interactive graphical applications using OpenGL library, and introduce to the techniques used in geometric modelling, curve and plane modelling, and data visualisation.
