I hope that you:
•Look at book & website
•Want to stay in this class (no? change by Friday!)
•Participate! Ask Questions! Get Inspired …
Choose One Presentation Topic,
1) Intro (this week)
2) 2D Images Mappings
3) Non-photorealistic Rendering (NPR)
4) Modeling I: Parametrics and Implicits
5) Modeling II: Mesh Subdivision, Simplification
6) Global illumination & Light Transport .
7) Physical Animations: Smoke, Water, Collisions and Breaking
8) Light Fields and IBMR
9) Point-based Modeling and Rendering
10) Project Demos (whole class evaluates)
AND Choose A Project Topic
From any presentation topic, or any of these:
• Shader Languages for Graphics (Cg, Sh, etc.)
• Shadow-Making, Light Design, Visibility
• Tone-Mapping and Vision(Tumblin's specialty)
• Panoramic Image Stitching, HDR photography
• Human Facial Model, Animation, Recognition
• Human Figure Movement and Animation
• Motion-Capture and Object Tracking
• Light Refraction, Dispersion & Fluorescence
• Haptics and Modeling Deformable Objects
• Human-Computer Interface for Graphics Tasks
('Teddy', GT ‘Twister’ for modeling, etc.)
Or anything else I missed (just ask!)

First come, first served.
Otherwise you’ll be ASSIGNED a topic.

3: Non-Photorealistic Rendering
3D vector field,
shaded
‘Painterly’ rendering
4: Models 1: Parametrics & Implicits
• Parametric Patches:
vary u,v to find all surface points:
x = xfcn(u,v)
y = yfcn(u,v)
z = zfcn(u,v)
Ian Stewart, Michael McCool, 1998
• Implicit Functions:
surface x,y,z points
satisfy f(x,y,z)=0.
5: Models 2: Subdivision, Simplification
Mesh Subdivision:
entire hand in
ONE surface patch!
Pixar1998
Watson2001
6: Real Materials & Light Transport
Surface Properties:
Why Phong shading
is not enough
Global Illumination Methods:
Physically accurate simulation of
light transport like this or….
Like this!
7: Differential Animations
• Fire, Water, Smoke
Stam 1999
Cloth, Fracture…
O’Brien1999
8: Light Fields &
IBMR

10: Graphics Projects Demo
• Your attendance is important--Students decide the grades! *
ALMOST ANYTHING instructive is fair game;
- Still images, Interactive demo,
animated movie,…
- Programming project or Application project
- Show results on a webpage & in class
Try to amaze us all!
*Of course, I have to agree with the them too…
