Computer Graphics is a flourishing field within Computer Science in which we study methods for digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content. Today, this field touches many aspects of our daily life, from animation, computer games, art and special effects to graphical user interfaces, information and scientific visualization, industrial design and education; computer graphics plays an increasingly important role in our lives, both practically and culturally.

This class will move quickly and cover many topics. We will be using a new edition of the Real-time Rendering book and the Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice (there will be a new version out at SIGGARPH this year. So do not purchase the current version online. Wait for half a year to read the most up-to-date one.) The new version in that it incorporates many new things, such as WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), a new framework for working with Computer Graphics. Finally, thanks to Dr. Marc Olano (UMBC), Dr. Andries van Dam and Dr. John Hughes from Brown University, for helping me teach this class and sharing their class materials.

So come join us in this exciting adventure!
