Description:

Prerequisites:

Introduction to Computer Graphics - CS 445

Textbooks:

Computer Animation - Algorithms and Techniques; Rick Parent
OpenGL Programming Guide, The Official Guide to Learning OpenGL, Woo, Neider, Davis, and Shreiner
(Not Required, but a great reference book) Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice, Foley, van Dam, Feiner, and Hughes

Assignments:

TBA

Tests:

One midterm and one final

Grading:

TBA

Late Days:

Students have five late days that they can use in any way during the semester. Each late day extends the due date by 24 hours. Use your late days wisely; you will not be granted additional late days without a written note from the Dean's office.

Honor Code:

The honor code applies to all work turned in for this course. In particular, all code and documentation should be entirely your own work. You may consult with other students about high-level design strategies related to programming assignments, but you many not copy code or use the structure or organization of another students program. Said another way, you may talk with one another about your programs, but you cannot ever look at another student's code nor let another student look at your own code. Each assignment will include a specific Honor Code Guideline referring to the use of online materials.
