Course Description
The compulsory introductory course TDA361/DIT220 Computer Graphics was highly theoretically intensive, giving a brief introduction to a vast amount of topics within computer graphics. In this follow-up course, the students are given a chance to dig deeper into a particular subject, in which they perform a project. Compulsory seminars presents more details on a research-level for a selection of topics, e.g. ambient occlusion, hair rendering, GPGPU applications, ray tracing and global illumination, GPU-ray tracing, hard and soft shadows, real-time indirect illumination, spherical harmonics, wavelets for CG.

    Examination
    • 14 seminars, 80% compulsory attendance. Each seminar:
      • 1-2 students present a paper. Every other participant have answered 1-2 small home-study questions.
    • Each student should have presented at end of course.
    • A graphics-related project that will be graded. See below.


    Project
    The students should perform a project of their choice. Examples include:
    • realistic explosions, clouds, fractal mountains (e.g. clip maps/geomorph/ROAM, ray tracing based a la GPUGems3)
    • CUDA program (a general parallel problem)
    • Thousands of lights using Clustered/Tiled shading
    • Game
    • WebGL demos
    • real-time ray tracer, ray tracing with photon mapping.
    • Ambient occlusion (screen-space)
    • Spherical Harmonics
    • Collision Detection
    • Displacement / parallax mapping
    • See also Project Page
    About magnitude of the project
    Guideline: 7.5p corresponds to 5*55 hours. We have 12*2h of seminars, so your individual contribution should be around 250 hours on the project. You are allowed to work in groups in order to achieve larger projects. You must then keep track of your individual contribution.

    You might be able to use the computers in our lab rooms 4220 + 4225, based on availability and as long as the rooms are not booked by other courses, if you do not have access to any other computer (home or in school) that you prefer. These rooms are usually heavily booked by other courses during the day. After 17.00, the rooms are typically free. If you need access to these rooms, email me your name, personal number and entrance card number (starts with T000...).
