Course Details
• Rendering Techniques: An in-depth study of various rendering techniques, including ray tracing, rasterization, and radiosity. This unit will cover the principles of rendering, different algorithms, and optimization strategies. • Texturing in Virtual Environments: This unit will focus on the fundamentals of texturing, such as texture mapping, texture filtering, and texture blending. Students will learn how to apply textures to 3D models and environments. • Shaders and Materials: This unit will explore the use of shaders and materials to create realistic lighting and surface properties in virtual environments. Students will learn about different types of shaders, including vertex and fragment shaders, and how to author custom shaders. • Global Illumination: This unit will cover the principles of global illumination and how to simulate complex lighting scenarios in virtual environments. Students will learn about techniques such as photon mapping, path tracing, and ambient occlusion. • Real-Time Rendering: This unit will focus on real-time rendering techniques and optimizations for use in games and other interactive applications. Students will learn about level of detail (LOD) reduction, occlusion culling, and other techniques for improving rendering performance. • Ray Marching and SDF: This unit will cover the principles of ray marching and signed distance functions (SDF) for rendering complex scenes and effects. Students will learn how to implement ray marching algorithms and use SDFs to create procedural geometry. • Light Field Technology: This unit will explore the use of light field technology for rendering and capture of virtual environments. Students will learn about the principles of light field rendering, light field capture, and how to use light field technology for virtual reality and augmented reality applications. • High Dynamic Range Imaging: This unit will cover the principles of high dynamic range imaging (HDRI) and how to use HDRI for lighting and rendering in virtual environments. Students will learn how to capture HDRI images, how to use HDRI for image-based lighting, and how to tone-map HDR images for display. • GPU Programming: This unit will explore the use of GPU programming for rendering and simulation in virtual environments. Students will learn about the architecture of modern GPUs, how to program GPUs using Open
