ICG 310 - 3D Animation 3/Advanced Rendering

Credits: 3
Class Hours: 3
Covers two advanced topics in photorealistic rendering and designing for real-time playback for interactive applications. Within the subject of photorealistic rendering students will manipulate their 3D environments to look photographic. This course teaches how to use photorealistic imaging techniques such as, physically based ray-tracing, image-based lighting, global illumination models, and advanced texturing. In the second topic students will learn to prepare their 3D models for real-time playback for Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality applications. This subject includes low polygon modeling, polygon reduction techniques, advanced texturing skills such as UVW unwrapping, and texture baking.

Course Fee: $190.00
