Lecture Notes

In class this year, I am not following my notes too closely. In general, I am improvising using a combination of some hand-written notes, typed notes (in power point - sometimes from last year).

As in the past, I am making my notes available to you. However: I make no promises that these are of any use to anyone other than me. Not everything that we talk about in class is in the notes, and not everything in the notes gets discussed (you are only responsible for things we actually get to discuss).

Week 1 - Basics

Week 2 - Images and Sampling

Week 3 - More on Sampling

Week 4 - Sampling and Practical Imaging

**Week 5 - Geometric Graphics **

Week 6 - Drawing in 3D

Note that last year, we covered BSP trees, and this year we just mentioned them

Week 7 - Local Lighting and Shading

  • Hand written notes lecture:Oct14-16.pdf with some details of the Z-Buffer and Perspective Issues (Oct 14), and an outline of the Thursday 10/16 Lecture
  • Last year’s notes (Surface Appearance) (Shading and Surfaces). Note: we only went through the material at the beginning of this second slide set (we didn’t get to modeling)

Week 8 - Curves

  • Basically followed last year’s lecture notes. We did not get to deriving basis matrices or to discussing approximating curves. (2007 Curves Notes)

Week 10 - More Curves and Texture

Week 11 - Graphics Hardware and GPU Programming

Week 12&13 - Surfaces and Rendering

Week 14 - Color

Week 15 - Leftover Topics
