Course: Advanced Rendering Techniques

Contents

There are many different methods to generate images from 3D objects. In this course, we will have an in-depth look at algorithms for both offline and real-time 3D graphics. We will discuss techniques to add special effects to rasterization-based rendering pipelines, making use of state-of-the-art graphics hardware.

Students will create a rendering technique of their choice from a vast area of topics, you can find some of the examples from previous years below.
