Course Description
This production course introduces students to the concepts and practice of programming 2-D and 3-D computer graphics using OpenGL. The major focus is on developing the skills needed to create interactive, real-time CG experiences. Students write their own code to create customized computer tools and visuals and learn the fundamentals of graphics.
Upon completing this course, a student should have an understanding of basic computer graphics technical concepts - e.g., be able to describe the different types of geometric transformations, define what a normal vector is and what it's used for, understand how a texture image is applied to a shape, etc. The student should also be comfortable with using programming and mathematics (trigonometry, interpolation, vectors) to build and control a graphical scene.
Textbook
There is no single required text. Rather, students should choose one of the following texts, based on their background and programming experience:
- OpenGL Programming Guide, Fourth Edition, David Shreiner et al.
- OpenGL Distilled, Paul Martz
- Computer Graphics with OpenGL, Donald Hearn, Pauline Baker.
- Interactive Computer Graphics: A Top-Down Approach Using OpenGL, Edward Angel.
