Summary:
The course introduces advanced modeling and rendering techniques. Methods presented include: NURBS, tessellation's, blending of images, picking and highlighting, texturing, texture generation, filtering and mapping, image processing, shadows and reflections. Presented methods will be demonstrated using OpenGL.
