Outline
3D coordinate geometry, descriptions of objects, transformations and projections. Hidden surface removal algorithms (principles and examples of several algorithms). Shading, rendering, animation and other techniques. Curves in 3D - approximation (including least-squares and minimax) and interpolation (from polyline to NURBS). Surfaces in 3D - contour representations and projective drawings of surfaces. Use of surface patches for interpolation. Bezier, B-spline and beta-spline surfaces. Geometric modelling of objects using cellular, half-space and boundary-representation methods. In addition, each student is assigned a paper from a recent SIGGRAPH conference and asked to study it and give a 10-minute presentation to the rest of the class describing the content of the paper.
