Finals Can Be Fun!

During finals week of Winter Quarter, Drs. Maria Palazzi, Director of ACCAD and Rick Parent,CSE Faculty, and their CSE 682:Computer Animation students opened up their final presentations to the entire department and select members of the public. Five teams each presented the animations they created over the 10 weeks proving that OSU-CSE has some amazingly creative and talented students. And now we've put them up on the web! http://web.cse.ohio-state.edu/courses/cse682/index.html They can be quite large (rolling your mouse over the image will reveal the size) but the download wait is worth the entertainment!

The CSE 682:Computer Animation class combines technical students and students from the College of Art and Design to produce animated sequences. Five groups, each consisting of one Art/Design student and 5-6 technical students produce a short animated sequence as a quarter-long group project. This class is a "survey of computer animation algorithms and techniques; interpolation, path following, quaternions, object deformations, forward/inverse kinematics, rigid body dynamics, particle systems flocking, autonomous behavior, L-systems."
