Graphics Systems

The course cannot be taken simultaneously with:

Computer Graphics 2 (A4M39PGR2)

Lecturer:

Petr Felkel (gar.)

Tutor:

David Ambrož, Petr Felkel (gar.)

Supervisor:

Department of Computer Graphics and Interaction

Synopsis:

The course introduces advanced modeling and rendering techniques, capabilities of modern graphic accelerators, and metods for their programming. Focus is given on theoretical and practical experiences with OpenGL graphical library and with its extensions. Students learn GLSL language together with programming of graphical cards on the graphical pipeline level (vertex and fragment shaders].

Requirements:

Prerequisite: Fundamental knowledge of OpenGL (In the range of XE39ZPG course).
