CS 4210 - Advanced Computer Graphics2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
In this course, students explore the field of interactive 3-D computer graphics. Lecture topics provide theoretical and practical knowledge of common 3-D graphics algorithms and techniques. Laboratory exercises focus on the creation of interactive 3-D applications using existing software libraries. The course culminates in a student-chosen design project implementing various aspects of 3-D graphics. (prereq: SE 2811 or CS321X)
