days discounted). The assignment is labeled EC: Shaders, it is purely
optional, and it will be due two weeks before the exam period.

About CS1566
07/22
CS1566 -- Introduction to Computer Graphics -- will be offerred
again Fall 2011. Highlights
from earlier editions 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.
The Fall 2011 class has been full for a while now; we are limited by
the number of seats and by the amount of staff support we receive. Pitt does not manage a
waiting list, but if taking this class this particular year is important to
you, do come to the class meetings and keep up with the class work for
the first two weeks; some people may drop out by then. Otherwise, the class will
be offered again in the Fall of 2012.
