Graphics Curriculum: This course and 782, on photorealistic rendering, are the two courses on rendering. There is a short introduction to 782 at the end of this course. This is the entry course for graphics for graduate students. Undergraduates should take CIS581 (CIS694G) first (mainly because 581 contains more immediately-useful material and makes more sense if you end up taking only one course in graphics). Undergraduates who are serious about studying computer graphics and who do well in 581 (or who are strong academically) are welcome to take CSE681. Labs: In this course, you program your own ray tracer, including illumination modeling, texture mapping, object modeling. Text: Realistic Ray Tracing by Peter Shirley; either first or second edition. The first edition actually matches this class better but the second edition can be used - the 'readings' have page numbers for both editions. Class attendance: Students are expected to attend class. If you miss a class, you are responsible for finding out what material was covered, what announcements were made, and what assignments were made. (Don't come to me and ask me to present the material to you) Common questions about the class:
