CS1566 -- Introduction to Computer Graphics -- will be offerred again Spring 2009. Highlights from the 2008 edition of the class are below.

With applications as far-reaching as special effects, interactive TV, graphical user interfaces, information visualization, industrial design, education, and computer games ranging from Doom 3 to The Sims, computer graphics plays an increasingly important role in our lives. This course is aimed to be a comprehensive introduction to basic concepts and algorithms in this field, and topics covered will include the fundamentals of scan conversion of geometric primitives, 2D and 3D transformations, 3D viewing and projection, color, hidden surface removal, simple illumination models, modeling, animation, and user interfaces.
