In this course students will learn about fundamental algorithms, data structures and programming models used in 3D graphics applications. These key concepts in computer graphics programming will be covered from their mathematical foundations through to their application in domains such as data visualisation, virtual reality, computer games and film animation/VFX. In this course students will explore these concepts through practical implementation in a modern computer graphics software context. Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to: Explain the stages of a modern, hardware-accelerated 3D rendering pipeline Construct and manipulate complex models, geometries and scene graphs in both 2D and 3D Implement computer graphics algorithms in a shader language Compare and evaluate different computer graphics techniques based on performance, aesthetic and implementation difficulty Indicative Assessment Weekly lab portfolio (10) [LO 1,2,3] Group project (20) [LO 1] Individual project (40) [LO 1,2,3,4] Final exam (30) [LO 1,2,3,4] The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity.
