Advanced Computer Graphics

This is the webpage for the class »Advanced Computer Graphics (Photorealistic Rendering)«. This page will function as the main communication means of materials and assignments for the class. The class will be taught in English. For questions and comments please contact the instructors.

This class introduces you to advanced concepts behind tree-dimensional computer graphics such as advanced illumination models, global illumination models, GPU computing, shadow computation, sub-surface scattering, smooth surfaces, image-based rendering, non-photorealistic rendering, and visualization techniques. The class is accompanied by a tutorial in which presence is mandatory. In this tutorial you will deepen your understanding of the presented material through implementations (self-written ray-tracer).
