A huge update to the resources page! The following have been updated:
  • Code Examples: Shader Examples of Gourad & Phong Shading plus Texturing
  • Model Repository: TONS of models to use with the model loader for your programming pleasure. The Models Resource is another fantastic repository to find OBJ and other format files. The model loader will support OBJ, OFF, STL, and PLY files.
  • Sound Repository: WAV files to use with OpenAL
  • Texture Repository: All sorts of textures to use with normal maps, skyboxes, specular maps, and other misc. objects

It's here, the long awaited update!

The schedule for the rest of the semester has been updated.

The resources page has exploded! Check out the links, tutorials, examples provided. And there will be more cool stuff coming as we get further into Shader Land. An example of particular help might be the model loader so you can start including premade models into your programs. No more boxes!

Things to come: model, sound, & textures to use (they'll be in the repositories). And one more surprise coming soon.

Guild Wars is live! Read up on the specs and start forming your Guild.

On the schedule page is a link for Review Questions for Exam I. Answer these before coming to class on Monday.

More updates will be coming soon!

The student pages have been updated! Check out everyone's work thus far. The submissions are really good - some great drawings for A2.

The leaderboard has been updated as well. Another XPlosion!

Don't forget to be checking out the Hall of Fame to see some of the top submissions each week.

A number of additions. The schedule has been planned out through the end of the month, culminating in Exam I on September 28. You'll be able to see the topics coming up as well.

The student pages have gone live! Check out everyone's work thus far. The submissions are really good - I am way impressed with the submissions for Lab00b.

There will be more additions coming in the next day or so. Be checking back for the update and a new leaderboard coming soon - with lots of XP about to flood in!


08/31/2016
The fun begins today now that we move to animation & interaction. We can now display non-static images that the user can control. There will be lots of examples shown today (but not right away, they'd give away all the answer).

Don't forget that Lab00 and A1 are both due tonight. A2 has also gone out. Don't wait until Tuesday Sept. 6 to start it. Get a jump on it right away.

Welcome to CSCI 441 / 598B - Computer Graphics! While there is not too much here just yet, here is a quick guide to where everything is. You will be able to find the labs & homework assignments on the assignments page. As we cover more topics and more examples are used in class, they will become available on the resources page. The schedule page will list the reading required for the upcoming class - you will want to visit this page most often. Until then, be sure to look at the syllabus and familiarize yourself with the course and this website. Don't forget to check out the leaderboard as it will very soon have all your heroes listed!
