Course Description
Advanced rendering techniques, global illumination and radiosity, volume rendering, shadows, reflection models, dynamics
and inverse kinematics, collision detection, fractals and particle systems.
Prerequisite
CS 482 with a
minimum
grade of C
Course Policies
Late Policy
There will be no work
accepted late and no
unexcused absences
from exams. No makeup
exams shall be given for
unexcused absences. Exceptions are granted
only for documented
medical problems.
Attendance
Attendance is
strongly encouraged, as is class
participation. The
material covered
during lectures and
class discussions
shall form the basis
for the exams.
Academic Misconduct
Discussion is encouraged on
the programming assignments,
but you must cite any student
or resource that assists you. In
any case, you are expected
to completely write your own
code in order to demonstrate
your understanding of the
concepts being explored.
In-Class Incivility
Please refrain from:
 Eating or drinking in
class.
 Using cell-phones,
tablets, or laptop
computers in class.
 Prolonged chattering
with classmates.
 Sleeping in class.
Grading (1000 Points – A: 900-1000, B: 800-899, C: 700-799, D: 600-699, F: 0-599)
Three 100-Point Programming Assignments
Three C++/OpenGL programming assignments dealing with advanced graphics techniques. Each assignment will include one additional component that is required for graduate students and extra-credit for undergraduate students.
One 100-Point Midterm Exam
The midterm exam covers the Parent textbook chapters covered in the first half of the semester.
Two 100-Point In-Class Presentations
Each student will present two SIGGRAPH Asia papers in the second half of the course, with a PowerPoint
presentation lasting 20-30 minutes. All students are responsible for reading every paper, but the designated presenter is responsible for the up-front presentation and is the point person for all questions during
the in-class discussion.
Ten 10-Point Pre-Discussion Quizzes
Each SIGGRAPH Asia paper discussion will be preceded by a short in-class quiz to ensure that all class
members have studied the papers in preparation for that day’s discussion.
One 200-Point Research Paper
Each student will select a current research topic in computer graphics and conduct a literature survey of the
state-of-the-art in that research area. This will result in a 10-page research paper summarizing the literature on that area, with at least ten acceptable conference and journal resources. Early milestones include
an annotated bibliography and a two-page extended abstract.
One 100-Point Final Exam
The final exam covers the SIGGRAPH Asia papers covered in the last half of the semester, as well as each
student’s experience conducting the literature survey and summarizing the resources for the research paper.
