Topic

Introduction to Computer Graphics

[Taken from adadmorales.blogspot.se]

This course offers an introduction into the most important theoretical and practical aspects of computer graphics. We provide foundations such as illumination or color models as well as discuss basic techniques and algorithms used in 2D and 3D graphics. The content is exercised and deepened in context of theoretical and practical lab assignments by using OpenGL.
