Course Summary
This course replaces Computer Graphics (Level 11) (INFR11021) from 2023-2024.This introductory course in computer graphics comprises of three parts. The first part of the course presents a bird's-eye view of the current state-of-the-art in the field. The latter two parts cover rendering, which is one of the core topics in computer graphics, in detail. The second part of the course teaches central concepts in rendering, along with the relevant mathematics. Finally, the third part of the course focusses on applications of the theory taught in the second part.

Assessment Information
Written Exam 0%, Coursework 100%, Practical Exam 0%
Additional Assessment Information
Coursework 100%There will be 3 coursework submissions, one associated with each part of the course, and all three will be marked. The final mark will be composed of the mark from coursework 1, plus the higher of coursework 2 or coursework 3.All coursework will involve programming, and so it is expected that students will have programming experience. The rendering libraries used in the course are written in C++. Some provide Python interfaces. The workload has been estimated assuming relevant programming experience.
