Multimedia and Graphics Applications

Lecturer:

Jan Buriánek (gar.)

Tutor:

Lukáš Bařinka, Jiří Chludil

Supervisor:

Department of Software Engineering

Synopsis:

Students gain practical experience with applications for 2D/3D graphics and DTP, as well as with basic methods of creating and editing computer graphics. Students learn theoretical fundamentals of computer graphics. During the semester, students work on various parts of a complex project involving 2D/3D graphics and DTP.

Requirements:

Expected is user-level knowledge of Linux or Windows and the ability to design static webpages.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Fundamental concepts of computer graphics.

2. 2D bitmap and vector graphics.
