GCO5817 Computer Graphics []

Reasons for Introduction

Obsolete Reasons for Introduction

This unit is being introduced to allow students doing a post-graduate course to complete a computer graphic unit within the award.The technology of computer graphics has revolutionised the world of visual arts and has introduced visualisation and user interaction into disciplines that previously had little or no access to graphics. Not only can 2D and 3D animations and simulations be found in movies and computer games, but they can also be found in many applications in the domains of science, engineering and so on.This unit is designed to provide the student with not only the basic concepts and knowledge of computer graphics but to also give a practical hands-on experience of the technology.GCO5817 covers essentially the same material as GCO3817 except for the addition of the representation of curves using techniques like bezier curves and B-splines. Also GCO5817 students will be expected to have a greater depth of understanding of more advanced areas including ray-tracing and shadow generation.
